And he saidH559, The LORDH3068 cameH935 from SinaiH5514, and rose upH2224 from SeirH8165 unto them; he shined forthH3313 from mountH2022 ParanH6290, and he cameH857 with ten thousandsH7233 of saintsH6944: from his right handH3225 went a fieryH799+H784 lawH1881 for them. {a fiery…: Heb. a fire of law}
YeaH637, he lovedH2245 the peopleH5971; all his saintsH6918 are in thy handH3027: and they sat downH8497 at thy feetH7272; every one shall receiveH5375 of thy wordsH1703.
MosesH4872 commandedH6680 us a lawH8451, even the inheritanceH4181 of the congregationH6952 of JacobH3290.

Let ReubenH7205 liveH2421, and not dieH4191; and let not his menH4962 be fewH4557.

Who saidH559 unto his fatherH1 and to his motherH517, I have not seenH7200 him; neither did he acknowledgeH5234 his brethrenH251, nor knewH3045 his own childrenH1121: for they have observedH8104 thy wordH565, and keptH5341 thy covenantH1285.
They shall teachH3384 JacobH3290 thy judgmentsH4941, and IsraelH3478 thy lawH8451: they shall putH7760 incenseH6988 beforeH639 thee, and whole burnt sacrificeH3632 upon thine altarH4196. {They shall teach: or, Let them teach} {they shall put: or, let them put} {before…: Heb. at thy nose}
BlessH1288, LORDH3068, his substanceH2428, and acceptH7521 the workH6467 of his handsH3027: smiteH4272 through the loinsH4975 of them that riseH6965 against him, and of them that hateH8130 him, that they riseH6965 notH4480 againH6965.
And of BenjaminH1144 he saidH559, The belovedH3039 of the LORDH3068 shall dwellH7931 in safetyH983 by him; and the LORD shall coverH2653 him all the dayH3117 long, and he shall dwellH7931 between his shouldersH3802.
And of JosephH3130 he saidH559, BlessedH1288 of the LORDH3068 be his landH776, for the precious thingsH4022 of heavenH8064, for the dewH2919, and for the deepH8415 that coucheth beneathH7257,
And for the preciousH4022 fruitsH8393 brought forth by the sunH8121, and for the precious thingsH4022 put forthH1645 by the moonH3391, {put: Heb. thrust} {moon: Heb. moons}
And for the chief thingsH7218 of the ancientH6924 mountainsH2042, and for the precious thingsH4022 of the lastingH5769 hillsH1389,
And for the precious thingsH4022 of the earthH776 and fulnessH4393 thereof, and for the good willH7522 of him that dweltH7931 in the bushH5572: let the blessing comeH935 upon the headH7218 of JosephH3130, and upon the top of the headH6936 of him that was separatedH5139 from his brethrenH251.
His gloryH1926 is like the firstlingH1060 of his bullockH7794, and his hornsH7161 are like the hornsH7161 of unicornsH7214: with them he shall pushH5055 the peopleH5971 togetherH3162 to the endsH657 of the earthH776: and they are the ten thousandsH7233 of EphraimH669, and they are the thousandsH505 of ManassehH4519. {unicorns: Heb. an unicorn}
And of ZebulunH2074 he saidH559, RejoiceH8055, ZebulunH2074, in thy going outH3318; and, IssacharH3485, in thy tentsH168.
They shall callH7121 the peopleH5971 unto the mountainH2022; there they shall offerH2076 sacrificesH2077 of righteousnessH6664: for they shall suckH3243 of the abundanceH8228 of the seasH3220, and of treasuresH8226 hidH2934 in the sandH2344.
And of GadH1410 he saidH559, BlessedH1288 be he that enlargethH7337 GadH1410: he dwellethH7931 as a lionH3833, and tearethH2963 the armH2220 withH637 the crown of the headH6936.
And he providedH7200 the first partH7225 for himself, because there, in a portionH2513 of the lawgiverH2710, was he seatedH5603; and he cameH857 with the headsH7218 of the peopleH5971, he executedH6213 the justiceH6666 of the LORDH3068, and his judgmentsH4941 with IsraelH3478. {seated: Heb. cieled}
And of DanH1835 he saidH559, DanH1835 is a lion'sH738 whelpH1482: he shall leapH2187 from BashanH1316.
And of NaphtaliH5321 he saidH559, O NaphtaliH5321, satisfiedH7649 with favourH7522, and fullH4392 with the blessingH1293 of the LORDH3068: possessH3423 thou the westH3220 and the southH1864.
And of AsherH836 he saidH559, Let AsherH836 be blessedH1288 with childrenH1121; let him be acceptableH7521 to his brethrenH251, and let him dipH2881 his footH7272 in oilH8081.
Thy shoesH4515 shall be ironH1270 and brassH5178; and as thy daysH3117, so shall thy strengthH1679 be. {Thy shoes: or, Under thy shoes}
There is none like unto the GodH410 of JeshurunH3484, who ridethH7392 upon the heavenH8064 in thy helpH5828, and in his excellencyH1346 on the skyH7834.
The eternalH6924 GodH430 is thy refugeH4585, and underneath are the everlastingH5769 armsH2220: and he shall thrust outH1644 the enemyH341 from beforeH6440 thee; and shall sayH559, DestroyH8045 them.
IsraelH3478 then shall dwellH7931 in safetyH983 aloneH910: the fountainH5869 of JacobH3290 shall be upon a landH776 of cornH1715 and wineH8492; also his heavensH8064 shall drop downH6201 dewH2919.
HappyH835 art thou, O IsraelH3478: who is like unto thee, O peopleH5971 savedH3467 by the LORDH3068, the shieldH4043 of thy helpH5828, and who is the swordH2719 of thy excellencyH1346! and thine enemiesH341 shall be found liarsH3584 unto thee; and thou shalt treadH1869 upon their high placesH1116. {found…: or, subdued}

JosephH3130 is a fruitfulH6509 boughH1121, even a fruitfulH6509 boughH1121 by a wellH5869; whose branchesH1323 runH6805 over the wallH7791: {branches: Heb. daughters}
The archersH1167+H2671 have sorely grieved himH4843, and shotH7232 at him, and hated himH7852:
