Deuteronomy 33:8-11
New International Version
8 About Levi(A) he said:
“Your Thummim and Urim(B) belong
to your faithful servant.(C)
You tested(D) him at Massah;
you contended with him at the waters of Meribah.(E)
9 He said of his father and mother,(F)
‘I have no regard for them.’
He did not recognize his brothers
or acknowledge his own children,
but he watched over your word
and guarded your covenant.(G)
10 He teaches(H) your precepts to Jacob
and your law to Israel.(I)
He offers incense before you(J)
and whole burnt offerings on your altar.(K)
11 Bless all his skills, Lord,
and be pleased with the work of his hands.(L)
Strike down those who rise against him,
his foes till they rise no more.”
