Genesis 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.
2
Gather yourselves
together,
and
hear,
ye
sons
of
Jacob;
and
hearken
unto
Israel
your
father.
3
Reuben,
thou art my
firstborn,
my
might,
and the
beginning
of my
strength,
the
excellency
of
dignity,
and the
excellency
of
power:
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.
5
Simeon
and
Levi
are
brethren;
instruments
of
cruelty
are in their
habitations.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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:
12
His
eyes
shall be
red
with
wine,
and his
teeth
white
with
milk.
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.
14
Issachar
is a
strong
ass
couching
down
between two
burdens:
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.
16
Dan
shall
judge
his
people,
as
one
of the
tribes
of
Israel.
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.
18
I have waited
for
thy
salvation,
O
LORD.
19
Gad,
a
troop
shall
overcome
him: but he shall
overcome
at the
last.
20
Out of
Asher
his
bread
shall be
fat,
and he shall
yield
royal
dainties.
21
Naphtali
is a
hind
let
loose:
he
giveth
goodly
words.
22
Joseph
is a
fruitful
bough,
even a
fruitful
bough
by a
well;
whose
branches
run
over the
wall:
23
The
archers
have
sorely grieved
him,
and
shot
at him, and hated
him:
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:)
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:
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.
