GE-49:1 And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather
yourselves
together, that I may tell you [that] which shall befall you in
the
last days.
GE-49:2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob;
and
hearken unto Israel your father.
GE-49:3 Reuben, thou [art] my firstborn, my might, and the
beginning
of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of
power:
GE-49:4 Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou
wentest
up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou [it]: he went up to
my
couch.
GE-49:5 Simeon and Levi [are] brethren; instruments of cruelty
[are
in] their habitations.
GE-49:6 O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their
assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger
they
slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.
GE-49:7 Cursed [be] their anger, for [it was] fierce; and their
wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and
scatter them
in Israel.
GE-49:8 Judah, thou [art he] whom thy brethren shall praise:
thy hand
[shall be] in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children
shall
bow down before thee.
GE-49:9 Judah [is] a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou
art
gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old
lion;
who shall rouse him up?
GE-49:10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a
lawgiver from
between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him [shall] the
gathering of the people [be].
GE-49:11 Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt
unto the
choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in
the
blood of grapes:
GE-49:12 His eyes [shall be] red with wine, and his teeth white
with
milk.
GE-49:13 Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he
[shall
be] for an haven of ships; and his border [shall be] unto Zidon.
GE-49:14 Issachar [is] a strong ass couching down between two
burdens:
GE-49:15 And he saw that rest [was] good, and the land that [it
was]
pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant
unto
tribute.
GE-49:16 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of
Israel.
GE-49:17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the
path,
that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall
backward.
GE-49:18 I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.
GE-49:19 Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome
at
the last.
GE-49:20 Out of Asher his bread [shall be] fat, and he shall
yield
royal dainties.
GE-49:21 Naphtali [is] a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
GE-49:22 Joseph [is] a fruitful bough, [even] a fruitful bough
by a
well; [whose] branches run over the wall:
GE-49:23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot [at him],
and
hated him:
GE-49:24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his
hands
were made strong by the hands of the mighty [God] of Jacob; (from
thence [is] the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
GE-49:25 [Even] by the God of thy father, who shall help thee;
and by
the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven
above,
blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts,
and
of the womb:
GE-49:26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the
blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the
everlasting
hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of
the
head of him that was separate from his brethren.
GE-49:27 Benjamin shall ravin [as] a wolf: in the morning he
shall
devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.
GE-49:28 All these [are] the twelve tribes of Israel: and this
[is
it] that their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every
one
according to his blessing he blessed them.
GE-49:29 And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be
gathered
unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that [is] in
the
field of Ephron the Hittite,
GE-49:30 In the cave that [is] in the field of Machpelah, which
[is]
before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with
the
field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a buryingplace.
GE-49:31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there
they
buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.
GE-49:32 The purchase of the field and of the cave that [is]
therein
[was] from the children of Heth.
GE-49:33 And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons,
