And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from his enemies.
And this is the blessing for Judah: Moses said, 'Listen, LORD, to Judah's voice, and bring him back to his people. Let his hands be strong enough for what he needs to do, and help him against his enemies.'
Moses is asking God to hear Judah's prayers, keep the tribe united with Israel, give them strength for their work, and protect them from their enemies.
