Deuteronomy 33:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 A king arose[a] in Jeshurun
when the chiefs of the people assembled,
and the tribes of Israel united.(A)
6 May Reuben live and not die out,(B)
but let his numbers be few.
7 Of Judah he said this:
Hear, Lord, the voice of Judah,
and bring him to his people.[b]
His own hands defend his cause;
be a help against his foes.(C)
Footnotes
