DEUTERONOMY
[XXXIII
- And Israel thy law:
- They shall put incense before thee,
- And whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.
- 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.
And of Benjamin he said.
- The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by
- him;
- And the Lord shall cover him all the day long,
- And he shall dwell between his shoulders.
And of Joseph he said,
- Blessed of the Lord be his land,
- For the precious things of heaven, for the dew,
- And for the deep that coucheth beneath,
- And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun,
- And for the precious things put forth by the moon,
- And for the chief things of the ancient mountains,
- And for the precious things of the lasting hills,
- And for the precious things of the earth and ful-
- ness thereof.
- And for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush:
- Let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph,
