Deuteronomy 33:2-4
Lexham English Bible
2 Then[a] he said,
“Yahweh came from Sinai,
and he dawned upon them from Seir;
he shone forth from Mount Paran,
and he came with myriads of holy ones,
at his right hand a fiery law for them.[b]
3 Moreover,[c] he loves his people,[d]
all the holy ones were in your hand,
and they bowed down to[e] your feet,
each one accepted directions from you.[f]
4 A law Moses instructed for us,
as a possession for the assembly of Jacob.

- Deuteronomy 33:3 Or “Indeed”
- Deuteronomy 33:3 Literally “a lover of peoples”
- Deuteronomy 33:3 Or “at”
- Deuteronomy 33:3 Literally “he takes up from your words”
