THE BOOK OF
DEUTERONOMY
CHAPTER 33
MOSES BLESSING THE TRIBES BIBLICAL BLESSINGS IN THE BIBLE ON ISRAELITES
Happy to have you here
once again for more Daily Bread. At the end of the last chapter,
remember that the Lord told Moses to go up into Mt. Nebo to die, so of
course, before he did, he gave glory to God and a blessing to the
children of Israel.
Much the same as when Jacob
was about to die, he gave a blessing to each of his sons, Moses also gave a
blessing to the tribes. Now, back in those days, the blessing that a man
gave to his son(s) when he was about to die, wasn't necessarily just
conferring happiness and prosperity upon them, but sometimes it was
prophecy of the future of their descendants.
MOSES BLESSING FROM GOD JACOB OFFSPRING BIBLICAL BLESSINGS IN THE BIBLE
Let's do a little comparison
of the blessing that Jacob gave to his sons and the blessing that Moses
gave to the tribes of Israel:
Son/Tribe |
Jacob's
blessing |
Moses'
blessing |
Reuben |
Reuben,
thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my
strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of
power: Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou
wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it: he went
up to my couch. |
Let Reuben
live, and not die; and let not his men be few.
|
Simeon |
Simeon
and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their
habitations. O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto
their assembly, mine honor, be not thou united: for in their
anger they slew a man, and in their self-will they digged down a
wall. Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath,
for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them
in Israel. |
(Simeon is
not mentioned in Moses' blessing) |
Levi |
And of Levi
he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom
thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at
the waters of Meribah; Who said unto his father and to his
mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his
brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy
word, and kept thy covenant. They shall teach Jacob thy
judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before
thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar. Bless, LORD,
his substance, and accept the work of his hands; smite through
the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate
him, that they rise not again. |
Judah |
Judah,
thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in
the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down
before thee. Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son,
thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as
an old lion; who shall rouse him up? The sceptre shall not
depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until
Shiloh (Jesus) come; and unto Him shall the gathering of the people be.
Binding His foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the
choice vine; He washed His garments in wine, and His clothes in
the blood of grapes: His eyes shall be red with wine, and His
teeth white with milk. |
And this is
the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, LORD, the voice of
Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be
sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from his enemies.
|
Zebulon |
Zebulun
shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for an
haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon. |
And
of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and,
Issachar, in thy tents. They shall call the people unto the
mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness:
for they shall suck of the abundance of the seas, and of
treasures hid in the sand. |
Issachar |
Issachar
is a strong ass couching down between two burdens: And he saw
that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and bowed
his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute. |
Dan |
Dan
shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth
the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward. I have
waited for thy salvation, O LORD. |
And of Dan he
said, Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan. |
Gad |
Gad,
a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last. |
And of Gad he
said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion,
and teareth the arm with the crown of the head. And he provided
the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the
lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads of the
people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments
with Israel. |
Asher |
Out
of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal
dainties. |
And of Asher
he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be
acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil. Thy
shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy
strength be. |
Naphtali |
Naphtali
is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words. |
And of
Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favor, and full
with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west and the
south. |
Joseph |
Joseph
is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose
branches run over the wall: The archers have sorely grieved him,
and shot at him, and hated him: But his bow abode in strength,
and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the
mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of
Israel:) Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and
by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven
above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the
breasts, and of the womb: The blessings of thy father have
prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost
bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of
Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate
from his brethren. |
And of Joseph
he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious
things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth
beneath, And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun,
and for the precious things put forth by the moon, And for the
chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious
things of the lasting hills, And for the precious things of the
earth and fulness thereof, and for the good will of him that
dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of
Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated
from his brethren. His glory is like the firstling of his
bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them
he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and
they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the
thousands of Manasseh. |
Benjamin |
Benjamin
shall raven as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey,
and at night he shall divide the spoil. |
And of
Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety
by him; and the Lord shall cover him all the day long, and he
shall dwell between his shoulders. |
