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.
49:2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob;
and hearken unto Israel your father.
49:3 Reuben, thou [art] my firstborn, my might, and the
beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the
excellency of power:
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.
49:5 Simeon and Levi [are] brethren; instruments of cruelty
[are in] their habitations.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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].
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:
49:12 His eyes [shall be] red with wine, and his teeth white
with milk.
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.
49:14 Issachar [is] a strong ass couching down between two
burdens:
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.
49:16 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of
Israel.
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.
49:18 I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.
49:19 Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome
at the last.
49:20 Out of Asher his bread [shall be] fat, and he shall
yield royal dainties.
49:21 Naphtali [is] a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
49:22 Joseph [is] a fruitful bough, [even] a fruitful bough
by a well; [whose] branches run over the wall:
49:23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot [at him],
and hated him:
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:)
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:
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.
49:27 Benjamin shall ravin [as] a wolf: in the morning he
shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.
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.
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,
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.
49:31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there
they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried
Leah.
49:32 The purchase of the field and of the cave that [is]
therein [was] from the children of Heth.
49:33 And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons,
he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost,
and was gathered unto his people.
