Chap. XXXIII.
Moyses ble&esset;ing the tribes of Israel (Simeon omitted) prophecyeth particularly
of euerie one. 26. Againe exhorteth them, that as God hath chosen them
his peculiar people, so they loue and honour him their onlie God.
1 This is note the blessing, wherwith Moyses the man of God
blessed the children of Israel, before his death.
2 And he said: Our Lord09Q0174 came from Sinai, and from Seir
is he risen to vs: he hath appeared from mount Pharan, and
with him thous&abar;des to Sainctes. In his right hand a fyrie law.
3 He hath loued the peoples, al the saintes are in his hand:
and they that approch to his feete, shal receiue of his doctrine.
4 Moyses commanded vs a law, the inheritance of the multitude
of Iacob.
-- --
Blessinges of the tribes.
5 He shal be king with the most right, the princes of the
people being assembled with the tribes of Israel.
6 Liue Ruben, and die he not, and be he litle in number.
7 This is the blessing of Iudas: Heare Lord the voice of
Iudas, and bring him in vnto his people: his handes shal fight
for him, and he shal be his helper against his aduersaries.
8 To Leui also he said: Thy perfection, and thy doctrine
be to thy holie man, whom thou hast proued in tentation,
and iudged at the Waters of contradiction.
9 He that note said
to his father, and to his mother: I know you not; and to his
brethren: I know you not: & they knew not their children.
These kept thy word, and obserued thy couenant,
10 thy
iudgementes o Iacob, and thy law o Israel: they shal put incense
in thy furie, and holocaust vpon thyne altar.
11 Blesse
Lord his strength, and receiue the workes of his handes.
Strike the backes of his enemies, and they that hate him, let
them not rise vp.
12 And to Beniamin he said: The best beloued of our Lord
note shal dwel confidently in him: as in a bride chamber al the
day shal he abide, and betwen his shoulders shal he rest.
13 To Ioseph also he said: Of the blessing of our Lord be
his land, of the fruites of heauen, and the dew, & the depth
lying vnderneth.
14 Of the pomes of the fruites of the sunne
and moone,
15 of the toppes of the old mountaynes, of the
pomes of the eternal hilles:
16 and of the fruites of the earth,
and of the fulnes therof. The blessing of him, that appeared
in the bush, come vpon the head of Ioseph, and vpon the
crowne of the nazarite among his brethren.
17 His beautie
as of the first borne of an oxe, his hornes the hornes of an
vnicorne: in them shal he winow the Nations euen to the
endes of the earth. these are the multitudes of note Ephraim,
and these the thousandes of Manasses.
18 And to Zabulon he said: Reioyse Zabulon in thy going
out, and Issachar in thy tabernacles.
19 They shal cal the peoples
to the mountaine: there shal they immolate the victimes
of iustice. Who shal sucke the inundation of the sea as milke,
and the hidden treasures of the sandes.
20 And to Gad he said: Blessed be Gad in breadth: as a
lion hath he rested, and taken the arme and the toppe of the
head.
21 And he saw his principalitie, that in his part the doctor
was reposed: which was with the princes of the people,
-- --

and did the iustices of our Lord, and his iudgement with
Israel.
22 To Dan also he said: Dan a lions whelpe, he shal flow
largely from Basan.
23 And to Nephthali he said: Nephthali shal enioy abundance,
and shal be ful of the blessinges of our Lord: the sea
and the south he shal possesse.
24 To Aser also he said: Blessed be Aser in children, be he
acceptable to his brethren, and dippe he in oile his foote.
25 His shoe yron and brasse. As the daies of thy youth, so also
thy old age.
26 There is no other God as the God of the rightest: the
mounter of heauen is thy helper. By his magnificence the
cloudes runne hither and thither,
27 his habitation is aboue,
and vnder the euerlasting armes: he shal cast out the enemie
from thy face, and shal say: Be destroyed.
28 noteIsrael shal dwel confidently, and alone. The eie of
Iacob in the land of corne and wine, and the heauens shal be
mistie with dew.
29 Blessed art thou Israel: who is like to thee o people, that
art saued in our Lord? the shield of thy helpe, and the
sword of thy glorie: thy enemies shal denie thee, and thou
shalt treade their neckes.
