About the tribe of Levi he said,

“Your Thummim and Urim[a] belong to your faithful people.
You tested your people at Massah.
You quarreled with them at the oasis of Meribah.
They said that they didn’t know their father and mother.
They didn’t recognize their own brothers.
They didn’t acknowledge their own children.
    But they obeyed your word
        and were faithful to the terms of your promise.[b]
10 They teach Jacob your rules
    and give Israel your teachings.
They burn incense for you to smell
    and sacrifice burnt offerings on your altar.
11 Yahweh, bless them with strength
    and be pleased with the work they do.
Break the backs of those who attack them and hate them
    so that they can never get up again.”
