Deu 32:2 "Let my teaching drop as the rain, My speech distill as the dew, As the droplets on the fresh grass And as the showers on the herb.

Deu 32:3 "For I proclaim the name of the Lord; Ascribe greatness to our God!

Deu 32:4 "The Rock! His work is perfect, For all His ways are just; A God of faithfulness and without injustice, Righteous and upright is He.

Deu 32:5 "They have acted corruptly toward Him, They are not His children, because of their defect; But are a perverse and crooked generation.

Deu 32:6 "Do you thus repay the Lord, O foolish and unwise people? Is not He your Father who has bought you? He has made you and established you.

Deu 32:7 "Remember the days of old, Consider the years of all generations. Ask your father, and he will inform you, Your elders, and they will tell you.

Deu 32:8 "When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, When He separated the sons of man, He set the boundaries of the peoples According to the number of the sons of Israel.

Deu 32:9 "For the Lord's portion is His people; Jacob is the allotment of His inheritance.

Deu 32:10 "He found him in a desert land, And in the howling waste of a wilderness; He encircled him, He cared for him, He guarded him as the pupil of His eye.

Deu 32:11 "Like an eagle that stirs up its nest, That hovers over its young, He spread His wings and caught them, He carried them on His pinions.

Deu 32:12 "The Lord alone guided him, And there was no foreign god with him.

Deu 32:13 "He made him ride on the high places of the earth, And he ate the produce of the field; And He made him suck honey from the rock, And oil from the flinty rock,

Deu 32:14 Curds of cows, and milk of the flock, With fat of lambs, And rams, the breed of Bashan, and goats, With the finest of the wheat-- And of the blood of grapes you drank wine.

Deu 32:15 "But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked-- You are grown fat, thick, and sleek-- Then he forsook God who made him, And scorned the Rock of his salvation.

Deu 32:16 "They made Him jealous with strange gods; With abominations they provoked Him to anger.

Deu 32:17 "They sacrificed to demons who were not God, To gods whom they have not known, New gods who came lately, Whom your fathers did not dread.

Deu 32:18 "You neglected the Rock who begot you, And forgot the God who gave you birth.

Deu 32:19 "The Lord saw this, and spurned them Because of the provocation of His sons and daughters.

Deu 32:20 "Then He said, 'I will hide My face from them, I will see what their end shall be; For they are a perverse generation, Sons in whom is no faithfulness.

Deu 32:21 'They have made Me jealous with what is not God; They have provoked Me to anger with their idols. So I will make them jealous with those who are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation,

Deu 32:22 For a fire is kindled in My anger, And burns to the lowest part of Sheol, And consumes the earth with its yield, And sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.

Deu 32:23 'I will heap misfortunes on them; I will use My arrows on them.

Deu 32:24 'They will be wasted by famine, and consumed by plague And bitter destruction; And the teeth of beasts I will send upon them, With the venom of crawling things of the dust.

Deu 32:25 'Outside the sword will bereave, And inside terror-- Both young man and virgin, The nursling with the man of gray hair.

Deu 32:26 'I would have said, "I will cut them to pieces, I will remove the memory of them from men,"

Deu 32:27 Had I not feared the provocation by the enemy, That their adversaries would misjudge, That they would say, "Our hand is triumphant, And the Lord has not done all this."'

Deu 32:28 "For they are a nation lacking in counsel, And there is no understanding in them.

Deu 32:29 "Would that they were wise, that they understood this, That they would discern their future!

Deu 32:30 "How could one chase a thousand, And two put ten thousand to flight, Unless their Rock had sold them, And the Lord had given them up?

Deu 32:31 "Indeed their rock is not like our Rock, Even our enemies themselves judge this.

Deu 32:32 "For their vine is from the vine of Sodom, And from the fields of Gomorrah; Their grapes are grapes of poison, Their clusters, bitter.

Deu 32:33 "Their wine is the venom of serpents, And the deadly poison of cobras.

Deu 32:34 'Is it not laid up in store with Me, Sealed up in My treasuries?

Deu 32:35 'Vengeance is Mine, and retribution, In due time their foot will slip; For the day of their calamity is near, And the impending things are hastening upon them.'

Deu 32:36 "For the Lord will vindicate His people, And will have compassion on His servants, When He sees that their strength is gone, And there is none remaining, bond or free.

Deu 32:37 "And He will say, 'Where are their gods, The rock in which they sought refuge?

Deu 32:38 'Who ate the fat of their sacrifices, And drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise up and help you, Let them be your hiding place!

Deu 32:39 'See now that I, I am He, And there is no god besides Me; It is I who put to death and give life. I have wounded and it is I who heal, And there is no one who can deliver from My hand.

Deu 32:40 'Indeed, I lift up My hand to heaven, And say, as I live forever,

Deu 32:41 If I sharpen My flashing sword, And My hand takes hold on justice, I will render vengeance on My adversaries, And I will repay those who hate Me.

Deu 32:42 'I will make My arrows drunk with blood, And My sword will devour flesh, With the blood of the slain and the captives, From the long-haired leaders of the enemy.'

Deu 32:43 "Rejoice, O nations, with His people; For He will avenge the blood of His servants, And will render vengeance on His adversaries, And will atone for His land and His people."

Deu 32:44 Then Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the hearing of the people, he, with Joshua the son of Nun.

Deu 32:45 When Moses had finished speaking all these words to all Israel,

Deu 32:46 he said to them, "Take to your heart all the words with which I am warning you today, which you shall command your sons to observe carefully, even all the words of this law.

Deu 32:47 For it is not an idle word for you; indeed it is your life. And by this word you will prolong your days in the land, which you are about to cross the Jordan to possess."

Deu 32:48 The Lord spoke to Moses that very same day, saying,

Deu 32:49 "Go up to this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab opposite Jericho, and look at the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the sons of Israel for a possession.

Deu 32:50 Then die on the mountain where you ascend, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people,

Deu 32:51 because you broke faith with Me in the midst of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribah-kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin, because you did not treat Me as holy in the midst of the sons of Israel.

Deu 32:52 For you shall see the land at a distance, but you shall not go there, into the land which I am giving the sons of Israel."

--------

Deu 33:1 Now this is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the sons of Israel before his death.

Deu 33:2 He said, "The Lord came from Sinai, And dawned on them from Seir; He shone forth from Mount Paran, And He came from the midst of ten thousand holy ones; At His right hand there was flashing lightning for them.

Deu 33:3 "Indeed, He loves the people; All Your holy ones are in Your hand, And they followed in Your steps; Everyone receives of Your words.

Deu 33:4 "Moses charged us with a law, A possession for the assembly of Jacob.

Deu 33:5 "And He was king in Jeshurun, When the heads of the people were gathered, The tribes of Israel together.

Deu 33:6 "May Reuben live and not die, Nor his men be few."

Deu 33:7 And this regarding Judah; so he said, "Hear, O Lord, the voice of Judah, And bring him to his people. With his hands he contended for them, And may You be a help against his adversaries."

Deu 33:8 Of Levi he said, "Let Your Thummim and Your Urim belong to Your godly man, Whom You proved at Massah, With whom You contended at the waters of Meribah;

Deu 33:9 Who said of his father and his mother, 'I did not consider them'; And he did not acknowledge his brothers, Nor did he regard his own sons, For they observed Your word, And kept Your covenant.

Deu 33:10 "They shall teach Your ordinances to Jacob, And Your law to Israel. They shall put incense before You, And whole burnt offerings on Your altar.

Deu 33:11 "O Lord, bless his substance, And accept the work of his hands; Shatter the loins of those who rise up against him, And those who hate him, so that they will not rise again."

Deu 33:12 Of Benjamin he said, "May the beloved of the Lord dwell in security by Him, Who shields him all the day, And he dwells between His shoulders."

Deu 33:13 Of Joseph he said, "Blessed of the Lord be his land, With the choice things of heaven, with the dew, And from the deep lying beneath,

Deu 33:14 And with the choice yield of the sun, And with the choice produce of the months.

Deu 33:15 "And with the best things of the ancient mountains, And with the choice things of the everlasting hills,

Deu 33:16 And with the choice things of the earth and its fullness, And the favor of Him who dwelt in the bush. Let it come to the head of Joseph, And to the crown of the head of the one distinguished among his brothers.

Deu 33:17 "As the firstborn of his ox, majesty is his, And his horns are the horns of the wild ox; With them he will push the peoples, All at once, to the ends of the earth. And those are the ten thousands of Ephraim, And those are the thousands of Manasseh."

Deu 33:18 Of Zebulun he said, "Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going forth, And, Issachar, in your tents.

Deu 33:19 "They will call peoples to the mountain; There they will offer righteous sacrifices; For they will draw out the abundance of the seas, And the hidden treasures of the sand."

Deu 33:20 Of Gad he said, "Blessed is the one who enlarges Gad; He lies down as a lion, And tears the arm, also the crown of the head.

Deu 33:21 "Then he provided the first part for himself, For there the ruler's portion was reserved; And he came with the leaders of the people; He executed the justice of the Lord, And His ordinances with Israel."

Deu 33:22 Of Dan he said, "Dan is a lion's whelp, That leaps forth from Bashan."

Deu 33:23 Of Naphtali he said, "O Naphtali, satisfied with favor, And full of the blessing of the Lord, Take possession of the sea and the south."

Deu 33:24 Of Asher he said, "More blessed than sons is Asher; May he be favored by his brothers, And may he dip his foot in oil.

Deu 33:25 "Your locks will be iron and bronze, And according to your days, so will your leisurely walk be.

Deu 33:26 "There is none like the God of Jeshurun, Who rides the heavens to your help, And through the skies in His majesty.

Deu 33:27 "The eternal God is a dwelling place, And underneath are the everlasting arms; And He drove out the enemy from before you, And said, 'Destroy!'

Deu 33:28 "So Israel dwells in security, The fountain of Jacob secluded, In a land of grain and new wine; His heavens also drop down dew.

Deu 33:29 "Blessed are you, O Israel; Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord, Who is the shield of your help And the sword of your majesty! So your enemies will cringe before you, And you will tread upon their high places."

--------

Deu 34:1 Now Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho. And the Lord showed him all the land, Gilead as far as Dan,

Deu 34:2 and all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah as far as the western sea,

Deu 34:3 and the Negev and the plain in the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, as far as Zoar.

Deu 34:4 Then the Lord said to him, "This is the land which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, 'I will give it to your descendants'; I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there."

Deu 34:5 So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord.

Deu 34:6 And He buried him in the valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-peor; but no man knows his burial place to this day.

Deu 34:7 Although Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died, his eye was not dim, nor his vigor abated.

Deu 34:8 So the sons of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days; then the days of weeping and mourning for Moses came to an end.

Deu 34:9 Now Joshua the son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him; and the sons of Israel listened to him and did as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Deu 34:10 Since that time no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face,

Deu 34:11 for all the signs and wonders which the Lord sent him to perform in the land of Egypt against Pharaoh, all his servants, and all his land,

Deu 34:12 and for all the mighty power and for all the great terror which Moses performed in the sight of all Israel.
