And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
Moses, called the man of God, gave this blessing to the children of Israel just before his death, with the full blessing extending through Deuteronomy 33:1-29. That final blessing makes no reference to Simeon. Levi, by contrast, is included because its fidelity to God transformed the curse once pronounced against that tribe into a blessing. This change came through Levi's appointment to the service of the sanctuary.
