Ulangan 33:12

Blessing on Benjamin

33:12 Of Benjamin he said:

The beloved of the Lord will live safely by him;

he protects him all the time,

and the Lord ¹  places him on his chest. ² 

Ulangan 2:25

2:25 This very day I will begin to fill all the people of the earth ³  with dread and to terrify them when they hear about you. They will shiver and shake in anticipation of your approach.” ⁴ 

[33:12]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[33:12]  ² tn Heb “between his shoulders.” This suggests the scene in John 13:23 with Jesus and the Beloved Disciple.

[2:25]  ³ tn Heb “under heaven” (so NIV, NRSV).

[2:25]  ⁴ tn Heb “from before you.”
