5 Mosebog 33
Bibelen på hverdagsdansk
33 Før sin død velsignede profeten Moses israelitterne med følgende ord:
2 Fra Sinai førte Herren os fremad,
i Seir så vi hans herlighed,
på Parans bjerge hans stråleglans.
Hans hellige titusinder fulgte ham,
da han kom sydfra til Moabs skråninger.[a]
3 Herren elsker sit folk,
han holder hånden over sine hellige,
de, som følger i hans fodspor
og adlyder alle hans bud,
4 alle de love, som jeg pålagde folket,
og som Jakobs slægt fik i eje.
5 Herren blev Israels hersker,
dengang folkets ledere samledes,
og alle stammer gav deres ja.
6 Herre, lad Ruben leve og ikke uddø,
selvom hans stammetal er lille.[b]
7 Herre, hjælp Juda imod hans fjender.
Vær du den, som forsvarer ham.
Bring ham hjem fra krigen i god behold.
Hør, han råber til dig om hjælp.
8 Herre, åbenbar ved Urim og Tummim
din vilje for Levi, din trofaste tjener,
som du satte på prøve ved Massa,
og irettesatte ved Meribas vande.
9 Han var mere loyal over for dig
end over for sin egen familie.
Han adlød dine befalinger,
var trofast imod din pagt.
10 Han skal lære Israels folk dine bud,
Jakobs børn dine love.
Han skal ofre dig duftende røgelse,
bringe brændofre op på dit alter.
11 Herre, velsign ham med styrke,
må hans tjeneste være til glæde for dig.
Knus hans fjender, som hader ham,
så de aldrig rejser sig imod ham igen.
12 Benjamin er Herrens yndling,
han kan trygt hvile sig.
Han beskyttes dagen lang,
han omsluttes af Herrens arme.
13 Herren velsigne Josefs land,
med himlens regn og jordens kilder.
14 med solmoden frugt og rigelig afgrøde,
15 med det bedste fra de ældgamle bjerge,
med en herlig høst fra de evige høje,
16 med alt det bedste, som jorden rummer,
med nåde fra ham, som talte til mig ved tornebusken.
Velsignet er Josef som leder blandt sit folk,
som fyrste over sine brødre.
17 Han er stærk som tyren,
har horn som vildoksen.
Han gennemborer fjenderne,
jager dem på flugt til jordens ender.
Efraims mægtige hær er hans styrke,
Manasses talstærke folk kæmper tappert.
18 Zebulon bliver velsignet på sine handelsrejser.
Issakars telte vil bugne af gods og guld.
19 De vil samle folkene på bjerget
og i fællesskab bringe ofre til Herren.
De bringer havets rigdomme i hus
og graver skatte op af sandet.
20 Tak, Herre, at du giver god plads til Gads stamme.
Som løven ligger Gad på lur,
parat til at rive fjendens hoved eller arm af.
21 Han valgte den bedste del af landet,
et område, der passer sig for en leder.
Når Israels ledere er samlet,
er Gad parat til at handle på Herrens bud.
22 Dan er som en løveunge,
der springer frem fra Bashan.
23 Naftali er mæt af velsignelse
og fyldt med Herrens nåde.
Han får søen og solsiden[c] i eje.
24 Asher er en særlig velsignet søn,
en yndling blandt sine brødre,
hans land vil blive fyldt med oliven.
25 Hans byer har porte af jern og bronze,
hans styrke vil vare, så længe han lever.
26 Der er ingen som Israels Gud.
Han farer frem over himlen for at hjælpe,
han rider på skyerne som en konge.
27 Den evige Gud er din tilflugt,
hans evige arme holder dig oppe.
Han jager fjenden på flugt foran dig
og befaler dig at udslette ham.
28 Israel skal bo i tryghed,
Jakobs børn får egen bolig
i et land fyldt med korn og vin,
hvor himlen drypper af væde.
29 Israel, hvor er du velsignet,
et folk, der befries af Herren selv.
Han er dit skjold og din redning,
han er dit sejrende sværd.
Dine fjender bøjer sig i støvet for dig,
men du udsletter dem.[d]

- 33,2 Teksten er vanskelig at tyde og oversættelsen usikker.
- 33,6 Teksten uklar.
- 33,23 Betydningen usikker. Søen henviser til Galilæasøen, idet Naftalis område blev nord for og ned til denne sø. Solsiden kan også betyde sydsiden.
- 33,29 Septuaginta siger: „træde på nakken af dem”, hvilket er symbol på total sejr over og ydmygelse af fjenden. Den masoretiske tekst siger: „du vil træde deres høje ned.” Dette henviser enten til de befæstede byer, bygget på højene, eller på afgudsbilleder, der også var anbragt på bakker og høje.

Moses Blesses the Tribes(A)
33 This is the blessing(B) that Moses the man of God(C) pronounced on the Israelites before his death. 2 He said:
“The Lord came from Sinai(D)
and dawned over them from Seir;(E)
he shone forth(F) from Mount Paran.(G)
He came with[a] myriads of holy ones(H)
from the south, from his mountain slopes.[b]
3 Surely it is you who love(I) the people;
all the holy ones are in your hand.(J)
At your feet they all bow down,(K)
and from you receive instruction,
4 the law that Moses gave us,(L)
the possession of the assembly of Jacob.(M)
5 He was king(N) over Jeshurun[c](O)
when the leaders of the people assembled,
along with the tribes of Israel.
7 And this he said about Judah:(Q)
“Hear, Lord, the cry of Judah;
bring him to his people.
With his own hands he defends his cause.
Oh, be his help against his foes!”
8 About Levi(R) he said:
“Your Thummim and Urim(S) belong
to your faithful servant.(T)
You tested(U) him at Massah;
you contended with him at the waters of Meribah.(V)
9 He said of his father and mother,(W)
‘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.(X)
10 He teaches(Y) your precepts to Jacob
and your law to Israel.(Z)
He offers incense before you(AA)
and whole burnt offerings on your altar.(AB)
11 Bless all his skills, Lord,
and be pleased with the work of his hands.(AC)
Strike down those who rise against him,
his foes till they rise no more.”
12 About Benjamin(AD) he said:
“Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in him,(AE)
for he shields him all day long,(AF)
and the one the Lord loves(AG) rests between his shoulders.(AH)”
13 About Joseph(AI) he said:
“May the Lord bless his land
with the precious dew from heaven above
and with the deep waters that lie below;(AJ)
14 with the best the sun brings forth
and the finest the moon can yield;
15 with the choicest gifts of the ancient mountains(AK)
and the fruitfulness of the everlasting hills;
16 with the best gifts of the earth and its fullness
and the favor of him who dwelt in the burning bush.(AL)
Let all these rest on the head of Joseph,
on the brow of the prince among[e] his brothers.(AM)
17 In majesty he is like a firstborn bull;
his horns(AN) are the horns of a wild ox.(AO)
With them he will gore(AP) the nations,
even those at the ends of the earth.
Such are the ten thousands of Ephraim;(AQ)
such are the thousands of Manasseh.(AR)”
18 About Zebulun(AS) he said:
“Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out,
and you, Issachar,(AT) in your tents.
19 They will summon peoples to the mountain(AU)
and there offer the sacrifices of the righteous;(AV)
they will feast on the abundance of the seas,(AW)
on the treasures hidden in the sand.”
20 About Gad(AX) he said:
“Blessed is he who enlarges Gad’s domain!(AY)
Gad lives there like a lion,
tearing at arm or head.
21 He chose the best land for himself;(AZ)
the leader’s portion was kept for him.(BA)
When the heads of the people assembled,
he carried out the Lord’s righteous will,(BB)
and his judgments concerning Israel.”
22 About Dan(BC) he said:
“Dan is a lion’s cub,
springing out of Bashan.”
23 About Naphtali(BD) he said:
“Naphtali is abounding with the favor of the Lord
and is full of his blessing;
he will inherit southward to the lake.”
24 About Asher(BE) he said:
“Most blessed of sons is Asher;
let him be favored by his brothers,
and let him bathe his feet in oil.(BF)
25 The bolts of your gates will be iron and bronze,(BG)
and your strength will equal your days.(BH)
26 “There is no one like the God of Jeshurun,(BI)
who rides(BJ) across the heavens to help you(BK)
and on the clouds(BL) in his majesty.(BM)
27 The eternal(BN) God is your refuge,(BO)
and underneath are the everlasting(BP) arms.
He will drive out your enemies before you,(BQ)
saying, ‘Destroy them!’(BR)
28 So Israel will live in safety;(BS)
Jacob will dwell[f] secure
in a land of grain and new wine,
where the heavens drop dew.(BT)
29 Blessed are you, Israel!(BU)
Who is like you,(BV)
a people saved by the Lord?(BW)
He is your shield and helper(BX)
and your glorious sword.
Your enemies will cower before you,
and you will tread on their heights.(BY)”

Moses' Final Blessing on Israel
33 This is the blessing with which Moses (A)the man of God blessed the people of Israel before his death. 2 He said,
(B)“The Lord came from Sinai
and dawned from Seir upon us;[a]
he shone forth from Mount Paran;
he came (C)from the ten thousands of holy ones,
with flaming fire[b] at his right hand.
3 Yes, (D)he loved his people,[c]
(E)all his holy ones were in his[d] hand;
(F)so they followed[e] in your steps,
receiving direction from you,
4 when (G)Moses commanded us a law,
as a possession for the assembly of Jacob.
5 Thus the Lord[f] (H)became king in (I)Jeshurun,
when the heads of the people were gathered,
all the tribes of Israel together.
6 (J)“Let Reuben live, and not die,
but let his men be few.”
7 And this he said of Judah:
“Hear, O Lord, the voice of Judah,
and bring him in to his people.
With your hands contend[g] for him,
and be a help against his adversaries.”
8 And (K)of Levi he said,
“Give to Levi[h] (L)your Thummim,
and your Urim to your godly one,
(M)whom you tested at Massah,
with whom you quarreled at the waters of Meribah;
9 who said of his father and mother,
‘I regard them not’;
(N)he disowned his brothers
and ignored his children.
For (O)they observed your word
and kept your covenant.
10 (P)They shall teach Jacob your rules
and Israel your law;
(Q)they shall put incense before you
and (R)whole burnt offerings on your altar.
11 Bless, O Lord, his substance,
and (S)accept the work of his hands;
crush the loins of his adversaries,
of those who hate him, that they rise not again.”
12 (T)Of Benjamin he said,
“The beloved of the Lord dwells in safety.
The High God[i] surrounds him all day long,
and dwells between his shoulders.”
13 And (U)of Joseph he said,
(V)“Blessed by the Lord be his land,
with the choicest gifts of heaven (W)above,[j]
and of the deep that crouches beneath,
14 with the choicest fruits of the sun
and the rich yield of the months,
15 with the finest produce of the ancient mountains
and the abundance of (X)the everlasting hills,
16 with the best gifts of the earth and (Y)its fullness
and the favor of (Z)him who dwells in the bush.
May these rest on the head of Joseph,
on the pate of him who is prince among his brothers.
17 (AA)A firstborn bull[k]—he has majesty,
and his horns are the horns of a (AB)wild ox;
with them (AC)he shall gore the peoples,
all of them, to the ends of the earth;
(AD)they are the ten thousands of Ephraim,
and they are the thousands of Manasseh.”
18 And of Zebulun he said,
(AE)“Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out,
and Issachar, in your tents.
19 They shall call peoples (AF)to their mountain;
there they offer (AG)right sacrifices;
for they draw from the abundance of the seas
and the hidden treasures of the sand.”
20 And (AH)of Gad he said,
“Blessed be he who enlarges Gad!
Gad crouches (AI)like a lion;
he tears off arm and scalp.
21 (AJ)He chose the best of the land for himself,
for there a commander's portion was reserved;
and (AK)he came with the heads of the people,
with Israel he executed the justice of the Lord,
and his judgments for Israel.”
22 And (AL)of Dan he said,
23 And (AO)of Naphtali he said,
“O Naphtali, sated with favor,
and full of the blessing of the Lord,
(AP)possess the lake[l] and the south.”
24 And (AQ)of Asher he said,
“Most blessed of sons be Asher;
let him be the favorite of his brothers,
and let him (AR)dip his foot in oil.
25 Your bars shall be iron and bronze,
and as your days, so shall your strength be.
26 (AS)“There is none like God, O (AT)Jeshurun,
(AU)who rides through the heavens to your help,
through the skies in his majesty.
27 The eternal God is your (AV)dwelling place,[m]
and underneath are the everlasting arms.[n]
And he thrust out the enemy before you
and said, ‘Destroy.’
28 So Israel lived in safety,
(AW)Jacob lived (AX)alone,[o]
in a land of grain and wine,
whose heavens drop down dew.
29 Happy are you, O Israel! (AY)Who is like you,
a people (AZ)saved by the Lord,
(BA)the shield of your help,
and the sword of your triumph!
Your enemies shall come fawning to you,
and you shall tread upon their backs.”
