“There is no one like the God of Jeshurun,
Who rides the heavens to help you,
And in His excellency on the clouds." v.26
Read chapter 33
This chapter are the last words of Moses. He blesses the tribes of Israel, yet not the same way the Jacob did in Genesis 49 that revealed their character and sin and was mixed of blessings and curses. Moses mentions all the tribes except Simeon; this is because of the words by Jacob that the tribes of Simeon and Levi would be scattered among their brothers. Levi we know doesn't receive an inheritance of land plot but some cities in each tribes territory as priests. Simeon became smaller and smaller and eventually mixed in with the tribe of Judah.
The name Jeshurun here (also seen in chapter 32) is another name for Israel. It is said to be a term of endearment meaning "child of the upright." Surely there is no one like the God of Israel. He rides on the clouds! (Well the heavens which are the exalted places.) This shows He has dominion over everything and He does all this to help you. What an amazing scene to see Jesus riding on the clouds! This is what we wait for and will see when His Kingdom comes.
Moses with his last words to the people are blessings and praises of God. What would want your last words be before you die?
