Deuteronomy 33:4
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.
3 Surely You love the people; all the holy ones are in Your hand, and they sit down at Your feet; each receives Your words—
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.
6 Let Reuben live and not die, nor his men be few.”
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
