Deuteronomy 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 

[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.
