Genesis 49
1Jacob 1
2Assemble 1 and listen to Israel your father. 1
3Reuben 1 my strength and the first-fruit of my manhood. 1 First in dignity and strength. 1
4Boiling over 1 For you climbed into my concubine’s the bed, 1 you defiled your father’s couch. 1
5Simeon 1 weapons of violence are their swords. 1 I will not enter into their council, 1
6My 1 for men in their anger they slew. 1 and oxen in their wantonness they hamstrung. 1
7Accursed is 1 and their wrath because it is so cruel; 1 I will divide them in Jacob 1 and scatter them in Israel. 1
8Judah 1 Your hand is on the neck of your enemies. 1 Before you your father’s sons bow down. 1
9Judah 1 From the kill, my son, you have returned; 1 He has crouched, he has lain down as a lion, 1 as an old lion, who will disturb him? 1
10The 1 nor the royal staff from between his feet, 1 and to him is due the obedience of the people. 1
11Binding his 1 and his colt to the choice vine, 1 he has washed his garments in wine, 1 and his clothing in the blood of grapes. 1
12His 1 and his teeth are white with milk. 1
13Zebulun 1 he is by a shore that is lined with ships, 1 and his border extends to Sidon. 1
14Issachar 1 crouching down between the sheepfolds, 1
15and 1 that the land also was pleasant, 1 he bowed his shoulder to bear, 1 and became a slave under a taskmaster. 1
16Dan 1 as one of the tribes of Israel. 1
17Dan 1 a horned-adder beside the path 1 that bites the horse’s heel 1 so that his rider is thrown off. 1
18I Lord! 1
19Gad 1 but he also will press upon their heel. 1
20Asher, his 1 and he provides royal dainties. 1
21Naphtali 1 that sends forth beautiful branches. 1
22Joseph 1 a fruitful branch by a spring, 1 his tendrils run over the wall. 1
23They 1 The archers hatefully assail him, 1
24But 1 his forearms tireless, 1 through the power of the Mighty One of Jacob, 1 In the name of the Shepherd of Israel, 1
25the 1 and God Almighty, who blesses you, 1 with blessings of heaven above, 1 and of the great deep that lies beneath. 1 With blessings of the breast and womb, 1
26with 1 with blessings of the everlasting mountains, 1 with the gifts of the ancient hills! 1 They will be on the head of Joseph, 1 on the head of the consecrated among his brothers. 1
27Benjamin 1 In the morning he devours prey. 1 and at evening divides the spoil.
