New Testament

Deuter­­onomy 33:13-21 Modern English Version (MEV)

13. Of Joseph he said: May his land be blessed of the Lord,from the harvest of the heavens,by the dew,and by the deep crouching beneath,

14. by the precious fruits brought forth by the sun,and by the choice things put forth by the moon,

15. by the finest things of the ancient mountains,and by the choice things of the everlasting hills,

16. by the best things of the earth and its fullness,and by the goodwill of Him who dwelt in the bush.May the blessing rest on the head of Joseph,on top of the head of him who was separated from his brothers.

17. His glory is like the firstborn of his bull,and his horns are like the horns of a wild ox;with them he will push the peoples together to the ends of the earth;they are the ten thousands of Ephraim,and they are the thousands of Manasseh.

18. Of Zebulun he said: Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going outside,and Issachar in your tents.

19. They will call the peoples to the mountain;there they will offer sacrifices of righteousness,for they will draw out the abundance of the seasand the treasures hid in the sand.

20. Of Gad he said: Blessed be he who enlarges Gad;he dwells as a lionand tears an arm and the crown of a head.

21. He provided the first part for himself,because there, in a portion of the ruler, he was seated.He came with the heads of the people.He executed the justice of the Lord,and His ordinances with Israel.
