Deuteronomy 33:4 - Moses' Blessing.

Moses here, identifying himself with the people, uses the third person, and includes himself among those to whom the Law was given; cf. Psalms 20:1-9 ; Psalms 21:1-13 ; where David not only speaks of himself in the third person, but addresses such prayers for himself as could only be offered by the people for their king (cf. also 5:12 , 5:15 ; Habakkuk 3:19 ). Even the inheritance of the congregation. The "even," which the translators of the Authorized Version have inserted here, were better omitted; the words are in apposition to "law." The Law which Moses communicated to Israel was to remain with them as the inheritance of the congregation. The Bishops' Bible and the Geneva Version have, more correctly, "for an inheritance of the congregation."
