Deuteronomy 33:10-12

Amplified Bible

¹⁰
“The priests shall teach Your ordinances (judgments) to Jacob,
And Your law to Israel.
They shall put incense ^[a]before You,
And whole burnt offerings on Your altar.
¹¹
“O Lord, bless Levi’s substance (ability),
And accept and take pleasure in the work of his hands;
Crush and shatter the loins of those who rise up against him,
And of those who hate him, so that they do not rise again.”

¹²Of Benjamin he said,

“May the beloved of the Lord ^[b]dwell in safety by Him;
He shields and covers him all the day long,
And he dwells between His shoulders.”

Deuteronomy 33:10 Lit in Your nose.
Deuteronomy 33:12 The temple in Jerusalem was located almost between the ridges of the territory of Benjamin, suggesting “between his shoulders” (see also Josh 15:8). Moses saw it as a symbol of the Lord’s presence covering Benjamin continually.
