Deuteronomy 33:1

Verse 1

1. This is the blessing This farewell benediction is to be connected with the song in the preceding chapter. That is a prophecy of the future of Israel as a nation; this is a blessing on the tribes in their individual character.

Moses, the man of God In Joshua 14:6, Caleb also speaks of Moses as the “man of God.” The same expression is used in the inscription to Psalms 90:0. The term is applied to one who has intercourse with God and revelations from him. Comp. 1 Samuel 9:6; 1Ki 12:22 ; 1 Kings 13:14.

Deuteronomy 33:2-5 constitute the introduction to the blessings upon the tribes, the giving of the law, and the selection of Israel to be the people of God.
