Genesis 49:1-33

And Jacob
<03290>
called
<07121> (8799)
unto his sons
<01121>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Gather yourselves together
<0622> (8734)_,
that I may tell
<05046> (8686)
you [that] which shall befall
<07122> (8799)
you in the last
<0319>
days
<03117>_.
Gather yourselves together
<06908> (8734)_,
and hear
<08085> (8798)_,
ye sons
<01121>
of Jacob
<03290>_;
and hearken
<08085> (8798)
unto Israel
<03478>
your father
<01>_.
Reuben
<07205>_,
thou [art] my firstborn
<01060>_,
my might
<03581>_,
and the beginning
<07225>
of my strength
<0202>_,
the excellency
<03499>
of dignity
<07613>_,
and the excellency
<03499>
of power
<05794>_:
Unstable
<06349>
as water
<04325>_,
thou shalt not excel
<03498> (8686)_;
because thou wentest up
<05927> (8804)
to thy father's
<01>
bed
<04904>_;
then defiledst thou
<02490> (8765)
[it]: he went up
<05927> (8804)
to my couch
<03326>_.
{thou shalt...: Heb. do not thou excel} {he went...: or, my couch is gone}
Simeon
<08095>
and Levi
<03878>
[are] brethren
<0251>_;
instruments
<03627>
of cruelty
<02555>
[are in] their habitations
<04380>_.
{instruments...: or, their swords are weapons of violence}
O my soul
<05315>_,
come
<0935> (8799)
not thou into their secret
<05475>_;
unto their assembly
<06951>_,
mine honour
<03519>_,
be not thou united
<03161> (8799)_:
for in their anger
<0639>
they slew
<02026> (8804)
a man
<0376>_,
and in their selfwill
<07522>
they digged down
<06131> (8765)
a wall
<07794>_.
{digged...: or, houghed oxen}
Cursed
<0779> (8803)
[be] their anger
<0639>_,
for [it was] fierce
<05794>_;
and their wrath
<05678>_,
for it was cruel
<07185> (8804)_:
I will divide
<02505> (8762)
them in Jacob
<03290>_,
and scatter
<06327> (8686)
them in Israel
<03478>_.
Judah
<03063>_,
thou [art he] whom thy brethren
<0251>
shall praise
<03034> (8686)_:
thy hand
<03027>
[shall be] in the neck
<06203>
of thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_;
thy father's
<01>
children
<01121>
shall bow down
<07812> (8691)
before thee.
Judah
<03063>
[is] a lion's
<0738>
whelp
<01482>_:
from the prey
<02964>_,
my son
<01121>_,
thou art gone up
<05927> (8804)_:
he stooped down
<03766> (8804)_,
he couched
<07257> (8804)
as a lion
<0738>_,
and as an old lion
<03833>_;
who shall rouse him up
<06965> (8686)_?
The sceptre
<07626>
shall not depart
<05493> (8799)
from Judah
<03063>_,
nor a lawgiver
<02710> (8781)
from between his feet
<07272>_,
until
<03588>
Shiloh
<07886>
come
<0935> (8799)_;
and unto him [shall] the gathering
<03349>
of the people
<05971>
[be].
Binding
<0631> (8802)
his foal
<05895>
unto the vine
<01612>_,
and his ass's
<0860>
colt
<01121>
unto the choice vine
<08321>_;
he washed
<03526> (8765)
his garments
<03830>
in wine
<03196>_,
and his clothes
<05497>
in the blood
<01818>
of grapes
<06025>_:
His eyes
<05869>
[shall be] red
<02447>
with wine
<03196>_,
and his teeth
<08127>
white
<03836>
with milk
<02461>_.
Zebulun
<02074>
shall dwell
<07931> (8799)
at the haven
<02348>
of the sea
<03220>_;
and he [shall be] for an haven
<02348>
of ships
<0591>_;
and his border
<03411>
[shall be] unto Zidon
<06721>_.
Issachar
<03485>
[is] a strong
<01634>
ass
<02543>
couching down
<07257> (8802)
between two burdens
<04942>_:
And he saw
<07200> (8799)
that rest
<04496>
[was] good
<02896>_,
and the land
<0776>
that [it was] pleasant
<05276> (8804)_;
and bowed
<05186> (8799)
his shoulder
<07926>
to bear
<05445> (8800)_,
and became a servant
<05647> (8802)
unto tribute
<04522>_.
Dan
<01835>
shall judge
<01777> (8799)
his people
<05971>_,
as one
<0259>
of the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>_.
Dan
<01835>
shall be a serpent
<05175>
by the way
<01870>_,
an adder
<08207>
in the path
<0734>_,
that biteth
<05391> (8802)
the horse
<05483>
heels
<06119>_,
so that his rider
<07392> (8802)
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
backward
<0268>_.
{an adder: Heb. an arrow-snake}
I have waited for
<06960> (8765)
thy salvation
<03444>_,
O LORD
<03068>_.
Gad
<01410>_,
a troop
<01416>
shall overcome
<01464> (8799)
him: but he shall overcome
<01464> (8799)
at the last
<06119>_.
Out of Asher
<0836>
his bread
<03899>
[shall be] fat
<08082>_,
and he shall yield
<05414> (8799)
royal
<04428>
dainties
<04574>_.
Naphtali
<05321>
[is] a hind
<0355>
let loose
<07971> (8803)_:
he giveth
<05414> (8802)
goodly
<08233>
words
<0561>_.
Joseph
<03130>
[is] a fruitful
<06509> (8802)
bough
<01121>_,
[even] a fruitful
<06509> (8802)
bough
<01121>
by a well
<05869>_;
[whose] branches
<01323>
run
<06805> (8804)
over the wall
<07791>_:
{branches: Heb. daughters}
The archers
<01167> <02671>
have sorely grieved him
<04843> (8762)_,
and shot
<07232> (8804)
[at him], and hated him
<07852> (8799)_:
But his bow
<07198>
abode
<03427> (8799)
in strength
<0386>_,
and the arms
<02220>
of his hands
<03027>
were made strong
<06339> (8799)
by the hands
<03027>
of the mighty
<046>
[God] of Jacob
<03290>_;
(from thence [is] the shepherd
<07462> (8802)_,
the stone
<068>
of Israel
<03478>:)
[Even] by the God
<0410>
of thy father
<01>_,
who shall help
<05826> (8799)
thee; and by
<0854>
the Almighty
<07706>_,
who shall bless
<01288> (8762)
thee with blessings
<01293>
of heaven
<08064>
above
<05920>_,
blessings
<01293>
of the deep
<08415>
that lieth
<07257> (8802)
under, blessings
<01293>
of the breasts
<07699>_,
and of the womb
<07356>_:
The blessings
<01293>
of thy father
<01>
have prevailed
<01396> (8804)
above the blessings
<01293>
of my progenitors
<02029> (8802)
unto the utmost bound
<08379>
of the everlasting
<05769>
hills
<01389>_:
they shall be on the head
<07218>
of Joseph
<03130>_,
and on the crown of the head
<06936>
of him that was separate
<05139>
from his brethren
<0251>_.
Benjamin
<01144>
shall ravin
<02963> (8799)
[as] a wolf
<02061>_:
in the morning
<01242>
he shall devour
<0398> (8799)
the prey
<05706>_,
and at night
<06153>
he shall divide
<02505> (8762)
the spoil
<07998>_.
All these [are] the twelve
<06240> <08147>
tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>_:
and this [is it] that their father
<01>
spake
<01696> (8765)
unto them, and blessed
<01288> (8762)
them; every
<0834>
one
<0376>
according to his blessing
<01293>
he blessed
<01288> (8765)
them.
And he charged
<06680> (8762)
them, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, I am to be gathered
<0622> (8737)
unto my people
<05971>_:
bury
<06912> (8798)
me with my fathers
<01>
in the cave
<04631>
that [is] in the field
<07704>
of Ephron
<06085>
the Hittite
<02850>_,
In the cave
<04631>
that [is] in the field
<07704>
of Machpelah
<04375>_,
which [is] before
<06440>
Mamre
<04471>_,
in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_,
which Abraham
<085>
bought
<07069> (8804)
with the field
<07704>
of Ephron
<06085>
the Hittite
<02850>
for a possession
<0272>
of a buryingplace
<06913>_.
There they buried
<06912> (8804)
Abraham
<085>
and Sarah
<08283>
his wife
<0802>_;
there they buried
<06912> (8804)
Isaac
<03327>
and Rebekah
<07259>
his wife
<0802>_;
and there I buried
<06912> (8804)
Leah
<03812>_.
The purchase
<04735>
of the field
<07704>
and of the cave
<04631>
that [is] therein [was] from the children
<01121>
of Heth
<02845>_.
And when Jacob
<03290>
had made an end
<03615> (8762)
of commanding
<06680> (8763)
his sons
<01121>_,
he gathered up
<0622> (8799)
his feet
<07272>
into the bed
<04296>_,
and yielded up the ghost
<01478> (8799)_,
and was gathered
<0622> (8735)
unto his people
<05971>_.
