Deuteronomy 33

Before his death, Moses blesses Israel tribe by tribe. The poem begins with the LORD’s appearance and kingship, then speaks distinct words over Reuben, Judah, Levi, Benjamin, Joseph, Zebulun, Issachar, Gad, Dan, Naphtali, and Asher. It closes not with the tribes’ strength but with the incomparable God who rides upon the heaven for Israel’s help and provides an eternal refuge.
