Notes

Deuteronomy 33:7

Judah was Jacob’s fourth son with Leah (Genesis 29:35). The Messiah (God's chosen one) would come from this tribe.

This promise was fulfilled first in David (Ruth 4:18–22; 1 Chronicles 2:3–15) and then in Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:1–6a; see Genesis 49:10).

Deuteronomy 33:1–29

On the day before he died, Jacob blessed his 12 sons (Genesis 49:1–28). Many years later, Moses also blessed these same sons. By that time, they had become large and powerful tribes. Moses, like Jacob, spoke as a founding father of the nation.
