TSNTyndale Study Notes:

33:9 guarded your covenant: The verse alludes to the incident of the gold calf at Mount Sinai (Exod 32:25-29) and to the affair at Baal-peor (Num 25:6-9). The Levites’ love for the Lord and loyalty to his covenant eclipsed their devotion to their own families, averted God’s judgment, and brought them the honor expressed here.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

General Information:

Moses continues to bless the tribes of Israel, which he began to do in Deuteronomy 33:2. The blessings are short poems. He continues describing the tribe of Levi, which he began to do in Deuteronomy 33:8.

(Occurrence 0) guarded … kept

(Some words not found in UHB: the,said of,father_of,his and,of,mother_of,his not regard,them and=DOM brothers_of,his not acknowledge and=DOM children_of,his not acknowledge that/for/because/then/when observed word_of,your and,covenant_of,your kept )

These words both mean to watch over and to protect. They are often metaphors for “obeyed,” but here they should be translated literally because they refer to a time when the Levites literally killed people who were rebelling against Yahweh. (See also: figs-metaphor)
