1And Jacob^H3290 called^H7121 unto his sons^H1121, and said^H559: Gather yourselves together^H622, that I may tell^H5046 you that which shall befall^H7122 you in the latter^H319 days^H3117. 2Assemble yourselves^H6908, and hear^H8085, ye sons^H1121 of Jacob^H3290; And hearken^H8085 unto Israel^H3478 your father^H1. 3Reuben^H7205, thou art my first-born^H1060, my might^H3581, and the beginning^H7225 of my strength^H202; The pre-eminence^H3499 of dignity^H7613, and the pre-eminence^H3499 of power^H5794. 4Boiling^H6349 over as water^H4325, thou shalt not have the pre-eminence^H3498; Because thou wentest up^H5927 to thy father's^H1 bed^H4904; Then defiledst thou^H2490 it: he went up^H5927 to my couch^H3326. 5Simeon^H8095 and Levi^H3878 are brethren^H251; Weapons^H3627 of violence^H2555 are their swords^H4380. 6O my soul^H5315, come^H935 not thou into their council^H5475; Unto their assembly^H6951, my glory^H3519, be not thou united^H3161; For in their anger^H639 they slew^H2026 a man^H376, And in their self-will^H7522 they hocked^H6131 an ox^H7794. 7Cursed^H779 be their anger^H639, for it was fierce^H5794; And their wrath^H5678, for it was cruel^H7185: I will divide^H2505 them in Jacob^H3290, And scatter^H6327 them in Israel^H3478. 8Judah^H3063, thee shall thy brethren^H251 praise^H3034: Thy hand^H3027 shall be on the neck^H6203 of thine enemies^H341; Thy father's^H1 sons^H1121 shall bow down^H7812 before thee. 9Judah^H3063 is a lion's^H738 whelp^H1482; From the prey^H2964, my son^H1121, thou art gone up^H5927: He stooped down^H3766, he couched^H7257 as a lion^H3833, And as a lioness^H3833; who shall rouse him up^H6965? 10The sceptre^H7626 shall not depart^H5493 from Judah^H3063, Nor the ruler's^H2710 staff from between his feet^H7272, Until^H3588 Shiloh^H7886 come^H935; And unto him shall the obedience^H3349 of the peoples^H5971 be. 11Binding^H631 his foal^H5895 unto the vine^H1612, And his ass's^H860 colt^H1121 unto the choice vine^H8321; He hath washed^H3526 his garments^H3830 in wine^H3196, And his vesture^H5497 in the blood^H1818 of grapes^H6025: 12His eyes^H5869 shall be red^H2447 with wine^H3196, And his teeth^H8127 white^H3836 with milk^H2461. 13Zebulun^H2074 shall dwell^H7931 at the haven^H2348 of the sea^H3220; And he shall be for a haven^H2348 of ships^H591; And his border^H3411 shall be upon Sidon^H6721. 14Issachar^H3485 is a strong^H1634 ass^H2543, Couching down^H7257 between the sheepfolds^H4942: 15And he saw^H7200 a resting-place^H4496 that it was good^H2896, And the land^H776 that it was pleasant^H5276; And he bowed^H5186 his shoulder^H7926 to bear^H5445, And became a servant^H5647 under taskwork^H4522. 16Dan^H1835 shall judge^H1777 his people^H5971, As one^H259 of the tribes^H7626 of Israel^H3478. 17Dan^H1835 shall be a serpent^H5175 in the way^H1870, An adder^H8207 in the path^H734, That biteth^H5391 the horse's^H5483 heels^H6119, So that his rider^H7392 falleth^H5307 backward^H268. 18I have waited for^H6960 thy salvation^H3444, O Jehovah^H3068. 19Gad^H1410, a troop^H1416 shall press^H1464 upon him; But he shall press^H1464 upon their heel^H6119. 20Out of Asher^H836 his bread^H3899 shall be fat^H8082, And he shall yield^H5414 royal^H4428 dainties^H4574. 21Naphtali^H5321 is a hind^H355 let loose^H7971: He giveth^H5414 goodly^H8233 words^H561. 22Joseph^H3130 is a fruitful^H6509 bough^H1121, A fruitful^H6509 bough^H1121 by a fountain^H5869; His branches^H1323 run^H6805 over the wall^H7791. 23The archers^H1167 have sorely grieved him^H4843, And shot^H7232 at him, and persecuted him^H7852: 24But his bow^H7198 abode^H3427 in strength^H386, And the arms^H2220 of his hands^H3027 were made strong^H6339, By the hands^H3027 of the Mighty^H46 One of Jacob^H3290 (From thence is the shepherd^H7462, the stone^H68 of Israel^H3478), 25Even by the God^H410 of thy father^H1, who shall help^H5826 thee, And by^H854 the Almighty^H7706, who shall bless^H1288 thee, With blessings^H1293 of heaven^H8064 above^H5920, Blessings^H1293 of the deep^H8415 that coucheth^H7257 beneath, Blessings^H1293 of the breasts^H7699, and of the womb^H7356. 26The blessings^H1293 of thy father^H1 Have prevailed^H1396 above the blessings^H1293 of my progenitors^H2029 Unto the utmost bound^H8379 of the everlasting^H5769 hills^H1389: They shall be on the head^H7218 of Joseph^H3130, And on the crown of the head^H6936 of him that was separate^H5139 from his brethren^H251. 27Benjamin^H1144 is a wolf^H2061 that raveneth^H2963: In the morning^H1242 he shall devour^H398 the prey^H5706, And at even^H6153 he shall divide^H2505 the spoil^H7998. 28All these are the twelve^H6240 tribes^H7626 of Israel^H3478: and this is it that their father^H1 spake^H1696 unto them and blessed^H1288 them; every^H834 one^H376 according to his blessing^H1293 he blessed^H1288 them. 29And he charged^H6680 them, and said^H559 unto them, I am to be gathered^H622 unto my people^H5971: bury^H6912 me with my fathers^H1 in the cave^H4631 that is in the field^H7704 of Ephron^H6085 the Hittite^H2850, 30in the cave^H4631 that is in the field^H7704 of Machpelah^H4375, which is before^H6440 Mamre^H4471, in the land^H776 of Canaan^H3667, which Abraham^H85 bought^H7069 with the field^H7704 from Ephron^H6085 the Hittite^H2850 for a possession^H272 of a burying-place^H6913. 31There they buried^H6912 Abraham^H85 and Sarah^H8283 his wife^H802; there they buried^H6912 Isaac^H3327 and Rebekah^H7259 his wife^H802; and there I buried^H6912 Leah^H3812— 32the field^H7704 and the cave^H4631 that is therein, which was purchased^H4735 from the children^H1121 of Heth^H2845. 33And when Jacob^H3290 made an end^H3615 of charging^H6680 his sons^H1121, he gathered up^H622 his feet^H7272 into the bed^H4296, and yielded up the ghost^H1478, and was gathered^H622 unto his people^H5971.
