Deuteronomy 33:1-5
Moses Blesses the Tribes of Israel
331 And this 'is' the blessing 'with' which Moses the man of God blessed the sons of Israel before his death, 2 and he saith:—'Jehovah from Sinai hath come, And hath risen from Seir for them; He hath shone from mount Paran, And hath come 'with' myriads of holy ones; At His right hand 'are' springs for them. 3 Also He 'is' loving the peoples; All His holy ones 'are' in thy hand, And they—they sat down at thy foot, 'Each' He lifteth up at thy words. 4 A law hath Moses commanded us, A possession of the assembly of Jacob. 5 And he is in Jeshurun king, In the heads of the people gathering together, The tribes of Israel!

Commentary on Deuteronomy 33:1-5
(Read Deuteronomy 33:1-5)
To all his precepts, warnings, and prophecies, Moses added a solemn blessing. He begins with a description of the glorious appearances of God, in giving the law. His law works like fire. If received, it is melting, warming, purifying, and burns up the dross of corruption; if rejected, it hardens, sears, pains, and destroys. The Holy Spirit came down in cloven tongues, as of fire; for the gospel also is a fiery law. The law of God written in the heart, is a certain proof of the love of God shed abroad there: we must reckon His law one of the gifts of his grace.
