Deuteronomy 33:12
Moses blesses Benjamin as the Lord's beloved, sheltered all day long and resting securely in the Lord's protective nearness.
12 About Benjamin he said, “The beloved of Yahweh will dwell in safety by him. He covers him all day long. He dwells between his shoulders.”
Moses blesses Benjamin as the LORD's beloved, sheltered all day long and resting securely in the LORD's protective nearness.
To record Moses' blessing over Benjamin as the LORD's beloved tribe, resting secure under divine covering and dwelling near the LORD in protected covenant nearness.
Benjamin is one of Jacob's sons and the youngest son of Rachel. The tribe later receives an inheritance between Judah and Joseph. Moses' blessing stands before Israel's entry into Canaan and speaks to Benjamin's future place among the covenant tribes under the LORD's protection.
Moses Blesses the Tribes Under the LORD's Eternal Refuge
Israel's future hope does not rest in Moses' continued presence or tribal strength but in the LORD who loves, instructs, reigns, blesses, shelters, and saves His covenant people.
