2He said,
and dawned from Seir upon us;33:2 Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate; Hebrew them
he shone forth from Mount Paran;
he came 33:2 [Ps. 68:17; Dan. 7:10; Acts 7:53; Gal. 3:19; Heb. 2:2; Jude 14; Rev. 5:11]from the ten thousands of holy ones,
with flaming fire33:2 The meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain at his right hand.

33:3 [Luke 10:39; Acts 22:3]so they followed33:3 The meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain in your steps,
receiving direction from you,
as a possession for the assembly of Jacob.
5Thus the Lord33:5 Hebrew Thus he33:5 Num. 23:21; [Judg. 8:23; Isa. 33:22] became king in 33:5 See ch. 32:15Jeshurun,

7And this he said of Judah:
“Hear, O Lord, the voice of Judah,
and bring him in to his people.
With your hands contend33:7 Probable reading; Hebrew With his hands he contended for him,
and be a help against his adversaries.”
“Give to Levi33:8 Dead Sea Scroll, Septuagint; Masoretic Text lacks Give to Levi33:8 See Ex. 28:30your Thummim,
and your Urim to your godly one,
33:8 See Ex. 17:7; Num. 20:13whom you tested at Massah,
with whom you quarreled at the waters of Meribah;
9who said of his father and mother,
‘I regard them not’;
33:9 See Ex. 32:26-29he disowned his brothers
and ignored his children.
For 33:9 Mal. 2:4-6they observed your word
and kept your covenant.
1033:10 ch. 17:9-11; Ezek. 44:23; See Lev. 10:11They shall teach Jacob your rules
and Israel your law;

and 33:10 Ps. 51:19; Ezek. 43:27whole burnt offerings on your altar.
11Bless, O Lord, his substance,
and 33:11 Ezek. 20:40, 41; 43:27; [Amos 5:22]accept the work of his hands;
crush the loins of his adversaries,
of those who hate him, that they rise not again.”
1233:12 [Gen. 49:27]Of Benjamin he said,
“The beloved of the Lord dwells in safety.
The High God33:12 Septuagint; Hebrew dwells in safety by him. He surrounds him all day long,
and dwells between his shoulders.”

with the choicest gifts of heaven 33:13 ver. 28; Gen. 27:28above,33:13 Two Hebrew manuscripts and Targum; Hebrew with the dew
and of the deep that crouches beneath,
14with the choicest fruits of the sun
and the rich yield of the months,
15with the finest produce of the ancient mountains
and the abundance of 33:15 Gen. 49:26; Hab. 3:6; [Ps. 90:2]the everlasting hills,
May these rest on the head of Joseph,
on the pate of him who is prince among his brothers.
1733:17 [1 Chr. 5:1] A firstborn bull33:17 Dead Sea Scroll, Septuagint, Samaritan; Masoretic Text His firstborn bull—he has majesty,

with them 33:17 1 Kgs. 22:11; Ps. 44:5; Dan. 8:4he shall gore the peoples,
all of them, to the ends of the earth;
33:17 [Gen. 48:19; Num. 1:33, 35]they are the ten thousands of Ephraim,
and they are the thousands of Manasseh.”
18And of Zebulun he said,
33:18 [Gen. 49:13-15]“Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out,
and Issachar, in your tents.

and the hidden treasures of the sand.”
20And 33:20 [Gen. 49:19] of Gad he said,

he tears off arm and scalp.
2133:21 See Num. 32:1-5, 16-19He chose the best of the land for himself,
for there a commander’s portion was reserved;
and 33:21 Num. 32:31, 32; See Josh. 1:12-15; 1 Chr. 5:18-22he came with the heads of the people,

and his judgments for Israel.”

and let him 33:24 [Job 29:6]dip his foot in oil.
25Your bars shall be iron and bronze,
and as your days, so shall your strength be.
through the skies in his majesty.
and underneath are the everlasting arms.33:27 Revocalization of verse 27 yields He subdues the ancient gods, and shatters the forces of old
And he thrust out the enemy before you
and said, ‘Destroy.’
28So Israel lived in safety,
33:28 [Ps. 68:26; Isa. 48:1] Jacob lived 33:28 Num. 23:9alone,33:28 Hebrew the abode of Jacob was alone
in a land of grain and wine,

29Happy are you, O Israel! 33:29 [2 Sam. 7:23] Who is like you,
a people 33:29 Isa. 45:17saved by the Lord,
and the sword of your triumph!
Your enemies shall come fawning to you,
and you shall tread upon their backs.”
