Deuteronomy 33:6 in context

The verses around it, from Deuteronomy 33.

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—

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.

6 Let Reuben live and not die, nor his men be few.”

7 And concerning Judah he said: “O LORD, hear the cry of Judah and bring him to his people. With his own hands he defends his cause, but may You be a help against his foes.”

8 Concerning Levi he said: “Give Your Thummim to Levi and Your Urim to Your godly one, whom You tested at Massah and contested at the waters of Meribah.

9 He said of his father and mother, ‘I do not consider them.’ He disregarded his brothers and did not know his own sons, for he kept Your word and maintained Your covenant.

10 He will teach Your ordinances to Jacob and Your law to Israel; he will set incense before You and whole burnt offerings on Your altar.
