Genesis 49:5-33

5“1SimeonH8095 and LeviH3878 are brothersH251; Their 2swordsH4380 are implementsH3627 of violenceH2555.63May my soulH5315 not enterH935 into their councilH5475; May my gloryH3519 not be unitedH3161 with their assemblyH6951; For in their angerH639 they killedH2026 4menH376, And in their self-willH7522 they lamedH6136 5oxenH7794.7CursedH779 be their angerH639, for it is fierceH5794; And their wrathH5678, for it isH7185 cruelH7185. 6I will scatterH2505 them in JacobH3290, And disperseH6327 them among IsraelH3478.

8“As for you, JudahH3063, your brothersH251 shall praiseH3034 you; Your handH3027 shall be on the neckH6203 of your enemiesH340; 7Your father’sH1 sonsH1121 shall bowH2331 downH2331 to you.9JudahH3063 is a 8lion’sH743 cubH1482; From the preyH2964, my sonH1121, you have goneH5927 upH5927. 9He 10crouchesH3766, he liesH7257 downH7257 as a lionH743, And as a 11lionH3833, whoH4310 12dares to stirH6965 him upH6965?1013The scepterH7626 will not departH5493 fromH5493 JudahH3063, NorH3808 the ruler’sH2710 staffH2710 from betweenH996 his feetH7272, 14UntilH5704H3588 ShilohH7886 comesH935, And 15to him shall be the obedienceH3349 of the peoplesH5971.1116He tiesH631 his foalH5895 to the vineH1612, And his donkey’sH860 coltH1121 to the choiceH8321 vineH8321; 17He washesH3526 his garmentsH3830 in wineH3196, And his robesH5497 in the bloodH1818 of grapesH6025.12His eyesH5869 are 18dullH2447 from wineH3196, And his teethH8127 19whiteH3836 from milkH2461.

13“20ZebulunH2074 will resideH7931 at the seashoreH3220H2348; And he shall be 21a harborH2348 for shipsH591, And his flankH3411 shall be towardH5921 SidonH6721.

14“IssacharH3485 is a 22strongH1634 donkeyH2543, 23LyingH7257 downH7257 betweenH996 the sheepfoldsH4942.15When he sawH7200 that a restingH4496 placeH4496 was goodH2896 And that the landH776 wasH5276 pleasantH5276, He bowedH5186 his shoulderH7926 to carryH5445 burdens, And becameH1961 a slaveH5647 at forcedH4522 laborH4522.

16“24DanH1835 shall 25judgeH1777 his peopleH5971, As oneH259 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478.17DanH1835 shall be a serpentH5175 in the wayH1870, A hornedH8207 viperH8207 in the pathH734, That bitesH5391 the horse’sH5483 heelsH6119, So that its riderH7392 fallsH5307 backwardH268.1826For Your salvationH3444 I waitH6960, LordH3068.

19“27As for GadH1410, a bandH1416 ofH1416 raidersH1416 shall attackH1464 him, But he will attackH1464 at their 28heelsH6119.

20“2930As for 31AsherH836, his 32foodH3899 shall be 33richH8082, And he will yieldH5414 royalH4428 delicaciesH4574.

21“34NaphtaliH5321 is a doeH355 letH7971 looseH7971; He uttersH5414 beautifulH8233 wordsH561.

22“35JosephH3130 is a fruitfulH6509 36branchH1121, A fruitfulH6509 37branchH1121 by a springH5869; Its 38branchesH1323 hangH6805 overH5921 a wallH7791.23The archersH1167H2671 provokedH4843 him, And shotH7232 at him and wereH7852 hostileH7852 towardH7852 him;24But his 39bowH7198 remainedH3427 40firmH386, And 4142his armsH2220 were agileH6339, From the handsH3027 of the 43MightyH46 OneH46 of JacobH3290 (From thereH8033 is 44the ShepherdH7462, 45the StoneH68 of IsraelH3478),25From 46the GodH410 of your fatherH1 who helpsH5826 you, And 4748by the 49AlmightyH7706 who blessesH1288 you With 50blessingsH1293 of heavenH8064 aboveH4480H5921, BlessingsH1293 of the deepH8415 that liesH7257 beneathH8478, BlessingsH1293 of the breastsH7699 and of the wombH7358.26The blessingsH1293 of your fatherH1 Have surpassedH1396 the blessingsH1293 of my ancestorsH2029 Up to the 51furthestH8379 boundaryH8379 of 52the everlastingH5769 hillsH1389; May they be on the headH7218 of JosephH3130, And on the topH6936 ofH6936 theH6936 headH6936 of the oneH5139 distinguishedH5139 among his brothersH251.

27“BenjaminH1144 is a 53ravenousH2963 wolfH2061; In the morningH1242 he devoursH398 the preyH5706, And in the eveningH6153 he dividesH2505 the spoilsH7998.”

28AllH3605 theseH428 are the twelveH8147H6240 tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, and thisH2088 is whatH834 their fatherH1 saidH1696 to them 54when he blessedH1288 them. He blessedH1288 them, everyH376 oneH376 55with the blessingH1293 appropriate to him. 29Then he commandedH6680 them and saidH559 to them, “I am about to be 56gatheredH622 to my peopleH5971; 57buryH6912 me with my fathersH1 in the caveH4631 that is in 58the fieldH7704 of EphronH6085 the HittiteH2850, 30in the 59caveH4631 that is in the fieldH7704 of MachpelahH4375, whichH834 is oppositeH5921H6440 MamreH4471, in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, whichH834 AbrahamH85 boughtH7069 along with the fieldH7704 from EphronH6085 the HittiteH2850 as a 60burialH6913 siteH272. 31ThereH8033 they buriedH6912 61AbrahamH85 and his wifeH802 62SarahH8283, thereH8033 they buriedH6912 63IsaacH3327 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 commandingH6680 his sonsH1121, he drewH622 his feetH7272 into the bedH4296 and 64breathedH1478 his lastH1478, and was 65gatheredH622 to his peopleH5971.
