Deuteronomy 33:8-11
Legacy Standard Bible
8 Of Levi he said,
“Let Your (A)Thummim and Your Urim belong to [a]Your (B)holy one,
(C)Whom You tested at Massah,
[b]With whom You contended at the waters of Meribah;
9 (D)Who said of his father and his mother,
‘I did not consider them’;
And he did not recognize his brothers,
Nor did he know his own sons,
For (E)they kept Your word,
And they observed Your covenant.
10 (F)They shall [c]teach Your judgments to Jacob,
And Your law to Israel.
(G)They shall put incense [d]before You,
And (H)whole burnt offerings on Your altar.
11 O Yahweh, bless his substance,
And accept the work of his hands;
Crush the loins of those who rise up against him,
And those who hate him, so that they will not rise again.”
