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,
he

gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and
was

gathered unto his people.
