Moses commanded us a law, an inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.

And of Levi he said: Thy Thummim and Thy Urim be with Thy holy one, whom Thou didst prove at Massah, with whom Thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;

Who said of his father, and of his mother: 'I have not seen him'; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew he his own children; for they have observed Thy word, and keep Thy covenant.

And for the precious things of the earth and the fulness thereof, and the good will of Him that dwelt in the bush; let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the crown of the head of him that is prince among his brethren.

There is none like unto God, O Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven as thy help, and in His excellency on the skies.

And Israel dwelleth in safety, the fountain of Jacob alone, in a land of corn and wine; yea, his heavens drop down dew.
29 Ìbùkún ni fún ọ, Israẹli, ta ni ó dàbí rẹ, ẹni tí a gbàlà láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa? Òun ni asà àti ìrànwọ́ rẹ̀ àti idà ọláńlá rẹ̀. Àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ yóò tẹríba fún ọ, ìwọ yóò sì tẹ ibi gíga wọn mọ́lẹ̀.”
Happy art thou, O Israel, who is like unto thee? a people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and that is the sword of thy excellency! And thine enemies shall dwindle away before thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
