And JacobH3290 calledH7121 to his sons,H1121 and said,H559 GatherH622 yourselves together, that I may tellH5046 you that whichH834 shall befallH7122 you in the lastH319 days.H3117
2
GatherH6908 yourselves together, and hear,H8085 you sonsH1121 of Jacob;H3290 and listenH8085 to IsraelH3478 your father.H1
3
Reuben,H7205 you are my firstborn,H1060 my might,H3581 and the beginningH7225 of my strength,H202 the excellencyH3499 of dignity,H7613 and the excellencyH3499 of power:H5794
4
UnstableH6349 as water,H4325 you shall not excel;H3498 becauseH3588 you wentH5927 up to your father'sH1 bed;H4904 thenH227 defiledH2490 you it: he wentH5927 up to my couch.H3326
5
SimeonH8095 and LeviH3878 are brothers;H251 instrumentsH3627 of crueltyH2555 are in their habitations.H4380
6
O my soul,H5315 comeH935 not you into their secret;H5475 to their assembly,H6951 my honor,H3519 be not you united:H3161 for in their angerH639 they slewH2026 a man,H376 and in their self-willH7522 they digH6131 downH6131 a wall.H7794
7
CursedH779 be their anger,H639 for it was fierce;H5794 and their wrath,H5678 for it was cruel:H7185 I will divideH2505 them in Jacob,H3290 and scatterH6327 them in Israel.H3478
8
Judah,H3063 you are he whom your brothersH251 shall praise:H3034 your handH3027 shall be in the neckH6203 of your enemies;H341 your father'sH1 childrenH1121 shall bowH7812 downH7812 before you.
9
JudahH3063 is a lion'sH738 whelp:H1482 from the prey,H2964 my son,H1121 you are goneH5927 up: he stoopedH3766 down, he couchedH7257 as a lion,H738 and as an oldH3833 lion;H3833 whoH4310 shall rouseH6965 him up?
10
The scepterH7626 shall not departH5493 from Judah,H3063 nor a lawgiverH2710 from betweenH996 his feet,H7272 untilH5704 H3588 ShilohH7886 come;H935 and to him shall the gatheringH3349 of the peopleH5971 be.
11
BindingH631 his foalH5895 to the vine,H1612 and his ass'sH860 coltH1121 to the choiceH8321 vine;H8321 he washedH3526 his garmentsH3830 in wine,H3196 and his clothesH5497 in the bloodH1818 of grapes:H6025
12
His eyesH5869 shall be redH2447 with wine,H3196 and his teethH8127 whiteH3836 with milk.H2461
13
ZebulunH2074 shall dwellH7931 at the havenH2348 of the sea;H3220 and he shall be for an havenH2348 of ships;H591 and his borderH3411 shall be to Zidon.H6721
14
IssacharH3485 is a strongH1634 assH2543 couchingH7257 down betweenH996 two burdens:H4942
15
And he sawH7200 that restH4496 was good,H2896 and the landH776 that it was pleasant;H5276 and bowedH5186 his shoulderH7926 to bear,H5445 and becameH1961 a servantH5647 to tribute.H4522
16
DanH1835 shall judgeH1777 his people,H5971 as oneH259 of the tribesH7626 of Israel.H3478
17
DanH1835 shall be a serpentH5175 by the way,H1870 an adderH8207 in the path,H734 that bitesH5391 the horseH5483 heels,H6119 so that his riderH7392 shall fallH5307 backward.H268
18
I have waitedH6960 for your salvation,H3444 O LORD.H3068
19
Gad,H1410 a troopH1416 shall overcomeH1464 him: but he shall overcomeH1464 at the last.H6119
20
Out of AsherH836 his breadH3899 shall be fat,H8082 and he shall yieldH5414 royalH4428 dainties.H4574
21
NaphtaliH5321 is a hindH355 let loose:H7971 he givesH5414 goodlyH8233 words.H561
22
JosephH3130 is a fruitfulH6509 bough,H1121 even a fruitfulH6509 boughH1121 by a well;H5869 whose branchesH1121 runH6805 overH5921 the wall:H7791
23
The archersH1167 H2671 have sorelyH4843 grievedH4843 him, and shotH7232 at him, and hatedH7852 him:
24
But his bowH7198 stayedH3427 in strength,H386 and the armsH2220 of his handsH3027 were made strongH6339 by the handsH3027 of the mightyH46 God of Jacob;H3290 (from thereH8033 is the shepherd,H7462 the stoneH68 of Israel:H3478)
25
Even by the GodH410 of your father,H1 who shall helpH5826 you; and by the Almighty,H7706 who shall blessH1288 you with blessingsH1293 of heavenH8064 above,H5921 blessingsH1293 of the deepH8415 that liesH7257 under,H8478 blessingsH1293 of the breasts,H7699 and of the womb:H7356
26
The blessingsH1293 of your fatherH1 have prevailedH1396 aboveH5921 the blessingsH1293 of my progenitorsH2029 to the utmost boundH8379 of the everlastingH5769 hills:H1389 they shall be on the headH7218 of Joseph,H3130 and on the crownH6936 of the headH6936 of him that was separateH5139 from his brothers.H251
27
BenjaminH1144 shall shredH2963 as a wolf:H2061 in the morningH1242 he shall devourH398 the prey,H5706 and at nightH6153 he shall divideH2505 the spoil.H7998
28
AllH3605 theseH428 are the twelveH8147 H6240 tribesH7626 of Israel:H3478 and thisH2063 is it that their fatherH1 spokeH1696 to them, and blessedH1288 them; every oneH376 accordingH834 to his blessingH1293 he blessedH1288 them.
29
And he chargedH6680 them, and saidH559 to them, I am to be gatheredH622 to my people:H5971 buryH6912 me with my fathersH1 in the caveH4631 that is in the fieldH7704 of EphronH6085 the Hittite,H2850
30
In the caveH4631 that is in the fieldH7704 of Machpelah,H4375 whichH834 is beforeH5921 H6440 Mamre,H4471 in the landH776 of Canaan,H3667 whichH834 AbrahamH85 boughtH7069 with the fieldH7704 of EphronH6085 the HittiteH2850 for a possessionH272 of a burial plot.H6913
31
ThereH8033 they buriedH6912 AbrahamH85 and SarahH8283 his wife;H802 thereH8033 they buriedH6912 IsaacH3327 and RebekahH7259 his wife;H802 and thereH8033 I buriedH6912 Leah.H3812
32
The purchaseH4735 of the fieldH7704 and of the caveH4631 that is therein was from the childrenH1121 of Heth.H2845
33
And when JacobH3290 had made an endH3615 of commandingH6680 his sons,H1121 he gatheredH622 up his feetH7272 intoH413 the bed,H4296 and yieldedH1478 up the ghost,H1478 and was gatheredH622 to his people.H5971
