Deuteronomy 33:19-21
Lexham English Bible
19 They summon people to the mountains;[a]
there they sacrifice the sacrifices of righteousness,
because the affluence of the seas they suck out,
and the most hidden treasures of the sand.”[b]
20 And of Gad he said,
“Blessed be the one who enlarges Gad;[c]
like a lion he dwells,
and he tears an arm as well as a scalp.
21 And he selected[d] the best part for himself, [e]
for there the portion of a ruler is included,
and he came with the heads of the people;[f]
he did[g] the righteousness of Yahweh,
and his regulations for Israel.”
