THE BLESSING OF MOSESDeuteronomy 33:1-291And this is the blessing wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. 2And he said,The Lord came from Sinai,And rose up [brake forth] from Seir unto them;He shined forth from Mount Paran,And he came with [out of] ten thousands of saints [myriads of holiness]:From his right hand went a fiery law for them [fire, law for them];13Yea, he loved [is cherishing] the people;All his saints are in thy hand:And they sat down... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:1-17

the Blessing of the Chosen People Deuteronomy 33:1-17 The glorious nature of God is the opening theme here. The reference is to the giving of the Law when, amid fire and the mediation of angels, God descended on Sinai, Psalms 18:7-9 ; Habakkuk 3:3-4 . Oh, that we, too, may sit as pupils in God’s school and receive His words, Deuteronomy 33:3 . Though Reuben could not excel, he was not forgotten. Simeon is omitted because of Numbers 25:14 . Judah was to receive prosperity in prayer, in... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 33:1-29

Here we have the record of the final words of Moses to the nation. They also take the form of a song. Often he had set before the people cursing and blessing His last words were of blessing only. First, in stately and majestic language he affirmed anew the majesty of Jehovah. In the midst of these statements is a word which arrests us: “Yea, He loveth the people." It may be that the Hebrew word there might be rendered "tribes," and that the reference was to Israel. Personally, however, I... read more

Deuteronomy 33:13-17 “And of Joseph he said, Blessed of Yahweh be his land, For the precious things of heaven, for the dew, And for the deep that couches beneath, And for the precious things of the fruits of the sun, And for the precious things of the growth of the moons, And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, And for the precious things of the everlasting hills, And for the precious things of the earth and its fulness, And the good will of him who dwelt in the bush.

Deuteronomy 33. The Blessing of Moses.— Of this poem (quite unconnected with the context) the following statements may be made: ( a) It was composed during the prosperous reign of Jeroboam II (786– 746 B.C.) A date after the disruption is required by Deuteronomy 33:7; a period of prosperity by Deuteronomy 33:13-Esther :. Prior to 786 B.C. Israel had been ruled by petty kings, and after 746 B.C. the Northern Kingdom had a long and disastrous struggle with Damascus. ( b) The writer belonged... read more

The firstling of his bullock; in whose countenance there is a kind of awful majesty and comely generosity, as Tully, Aelian, &c. observe. This seems to note the kingdom which Ephraim should obtain in Jeroboam and his successors. His horns are like the horns of unicorns; his strength and power shall be very great. He shall push the people, i.e. all that shall oppose him, and particularly the Canaanites. To the ends of the earth, i.e. of the land of Canaan. They are the ten thousands of... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:1-29

CRITICAL NOTES.—Moses now performs the last great act of life and blesses the tribes of Israel. “The blessing opens with a solemn conclusion of the covenant and giving of the law at Sinai, by which the Lord became King of Israel, to indicate at the outset the source from which all blessings must flow to Israel (Deuteronomy 33:2-5). Then follow the separate blessings upon the different tribes” (Deuteronomy 33:6-25).—(Keil). Compare these blessings with those of Jacob (Genesis 27:40-46; Genesis... read more

Chapter 33Chapter thirty-three,Now this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel just before he died. And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints; Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words. Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob. The king in... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 33:1-29

Deuteronomy 33:1 . Moses blessed Israel. Moses, like Jacob, died distinctly blessing the tribes of Israel, and finished his course in a manner worthy of himself. The tribe of Simeon is here omitted. The rabbins say, because Zimri, a prince of that tribe, had led the people to whoredom with the daughters of Moab. Deuteronomy 33:2 . The Lord came from Sinai. His glory accompanied the patriarchs, which is intimated in Psalms 114:0. and Habakkuk 3:3. Deuteronomy 33:6 . Let Reuben live,... read more

Deuteronomy 33:13-17Of Joseph he said, Blessed of the Lord be his land.JosephThe character of Joseph is not often correctly apprehended, although it comes out very distinctly in the picture which Scripture has given us of the boy, the youth, and the man. Its most conspicuous quality was firm resolution and indomitable strength of will. There was nothing weak or undecided in him; and from this sterling root of character, sanctified as it was by true piety, sprang the virtues which all can... read more
