Deuteronomy 33:7-9

GOD’S WORD Translation

“Hear the cry of Judah, O Lord,
and bring them to their people.
They must defend themselves.
Help them against their enemies.”

“Your Thummim and Urim ^[a] belong to your faithful people.
You tested your people at Massah.
You quarreled with them at the oasis of Meribah.
⁹ They said that they didn’t know their father and mother.
They didn’t recognize their own brothers.
They didn’t acknowledge their own children.
But they obeyed your word
and were faithful to the terms of your promise.^[b]
