📚 Historical Context

This is part of Moses' final blessing over the tribes of Israel before his death, specifically referring to the tribe of Levi (the priests). The Levites had no land inheritance like other tribes but served in the temple, so Moses asks God to bless their work and protect them from those who might oppose their religious authority.
