Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom. The messengers said,“ The nation of Israel is your brother. They say,‘ You know about all the hard times we’ve had.

The Lord said to her,“ Two nations are in your body. Two tribes that are now inside you will be separated. One nation will be stronger than the other. The older son will serve the younger one.”

“ I see him, but I don’t see him now. I view him, but he isn’t near. A star will come from among the people of Jacob. A king will rise up out of Israel. He’ll crush the foreheads of the people of Moab. He’ll crush the heads of all the people of Sheth.He’ll win the battle over Edom. He’ll win the battle over his enemy Seir. But Israel will grow strong.

The Lord was king over Israel when the leaders of the people came together. The tribes of Israel were also there.”

Israel, how blessed you are! Who is like you? The Lord has saved you. He keeps you safe. He helps you. He’s like a glorious sword to you. Your enemies will bow down to you in fear. You will walk on the highest places of their lands.”

You will enter the land the Lord your God is giving you. You will take it as your own. You will make your homes in it. When you do, you will say,“ Let’s appoint a king over us, just like all the nations around us.”When that happens, make sure you appoint over yourselves a king the Lord your God chooses. He must be from among your own people. Don’t appoint over yourselves someone from another country. Don’t choose anyone who isn’t from one of the tribes of Israel.The king must not get large numbers of horses for himself. He must not make the people return to Egypt to get more horses. The Lord has told you,“ You must not go back there again.”The king must not have many wives. If he does, they will lead him astray. He must not store up large amounts of silver and gold.When he sits on the throne of his kingdom, he must make for himself a copy of the law. He must write on a scroll the law that I am teaching you. He must copy it from the scroll of a priest, who is a Levite.The king must keep the scroll close to him at all times. He must read it all the days of his life. Then he can learn to have respect for the Lord his God. He can carefully obey all the words of this law and these rules.He won’t think of himself as being better than his people are. He won’t turn away from the law. He won’t turn to the right or the left. Then he and his sons after him will rule over his kingdom in Israel for a long time.
