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.[a]
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.”

Footnotes

  1. Deuteronomy 33:9 Or “covenant.”

Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.

10 They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.

11 Bless, Lord, his substance, and accept the work of his hands; smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.
