Genesis 49:27-33

27“Benjamin is a 1ravenous wolf; In the morning he devours the prey, And in the evening he divides the spoil.”

28All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father said to them 2when he blessed them. He blessed them, every one 3with the blessing appropriate to him. 29Then he charged them and said to them, “I am about to be 4gathered to my people; 5bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in 6the field of Ephron the Hittite, 30in the 7cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought along with the field from Ephron the Hittite for a 8burial site. 31There they buried 9Abraham and his wife 10Sarah, there they buried 11Isaac and his wife Rebekah, and there I buried Leah-- 32the field and the cave that is in it, purchased from the sons of Heth.” 33When Jacob finished charging his sons, he drew his feet into the bed and 12breathed his last, and was 13gathered to his people.
