Ulangan 33:9

33:9 He said to his father and mother, “I have not seen him,” ¹ 

and he did not acknowledge his own brothers

or know his own children,

for they kept your word,

and guarded your covenant.

Mazmur 25:10

25:10 The Lord always proves faithful and reliable ² 

to those who follow the demands of his covenant. ³ 

[33:9]  ¹ sn This statement no doubt alludes to the Levites’ destruction of their own fellow tribesmen following the golden calf incident (Exod 32:25-29).

[25:10]  ² tn Heb “all the paths of the Lord are faithful and trustworthy.” The Lord’s “paths” refer here to his characteristic actions.

[25:10]  ³ tn Heb “to the ones who keep his covenant and his testimonies.”
