No doubt the word in Deut. 33 is supposed to be after that in Gen. 49; but there is not the smallest ground for the assumption of incredulity that the writer of the one lived after the other. As the representation of Scripture is that Moses wrote both, so the differences in the view taken on each occasion are perfectly compatible and indeed remarkably verified. Levi is involved in the sentence with Simeon according to Gen. 49. But Deut. 33 though it omits Simeon, does not reverse the scattering predicted of Levi by Jacob; but it turns that very circumstance into a blessing for Israel and an honour to the tribe which covered over their old fault with the truest zeal for Jehovah’s honour and a burning love for the people at all cost to their own feelings and appearances. Ability to plead for man is in proportion to faithfullness for God. The priesthood was within that tribe, and the service of the sanctuary, and the teaching of the people.
