Deuteronomy 33:3
1 This is the blessing that Moses the man of God pronounced upon the Israelites before his death.
2 He said: “The LORD came from Sinai and dawned upon us from Seir; He shone forth from Mount Paran and came with myriads of holy ones, with flaming fire at His right hand.
Surely You love the people; all the holy ones are in Your hand, and they sit down at Your feet; each receives Your words—
4 the law that Moses gave us, the possession of the assembly of Jacob.
5 So the LORD became King in Jeshurun when the leaders of the people gathered, when the tribes of Israel came together.
