Genesis 49:27-33

27“BenjaminH1144 is a 1ravenousH2963 wolfH2061; In the morningH1242 he devoursH398 the preyH5706, And in the eveningH6153 he dividesH2505 the spoilH7998.”

28AllH3605 theseH428 are the twelveH8147H6240 tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, and thisH2088 is whatH834 their fatherH1 saidH1696 to them 2when he blessedH1288 them. He blessedH1288 them, everyH376 oneH376 3with the blessingH1293 appropriate to him. 29Then he chargedH6680 them and saidH559 to them, “I am about to be 4gatheredH622 to my peopleH5971; 5buryH6912 me with my fathersH1 in the caveH4631 that is in 6the fieldH7704 of EphronH6085 the HittiteH2850, 30in the 7caveH4631 that is in the fieldH7704 of MachpelahH4375, whichH834 is beforeH5921H6440 MamreH4471, in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, whichH834 AbrahamH85 boughtH7069 along with the fieldH7704 from EphronH6085 the HittiteH2850 for a 8burialH6913 siteH272. 31ThereH8033 they buriedH6912 9AbrahamH85 and his wifeH802 10SarahH8283, thereH8033 they buriedH6912 11IsaacH3327 and his wifeH802 RebekahH7259, and thereH8033 I buriedH6912 LeahH3812-- 32the fieldH7704 and the caveH4631 that is in it, purchasedH4735 from the sonsH1121 of HethH2845.” 33When JacobH3290 finishedH3615 chargingH6680 his sonsH1121, he drewH622 his feetH7272 into the bedH4296 and 12breathedH1478 his lastH1478, and was 13gatheredH622 to his peopleH5971.
