And (A)of Levi he said,

“Give to Levi[a] (B)your Thummim,
    and your Urim to your godly one,
(C)whom you tested at Massah,
    with whom you quarreled at the waters of Meribah;
who said of his father and mother,
    ‘I regard them not’;
(D)he disowned his brothers
    and ignored his children.
For (E)they observed your word
    and kept your covenant.
10 (F)They shall teach Jacob your rules
    and Israel your law;
(G)they shall put incense before you
    and (H)whole burnt offerings on your altar.
