Jacob's Last Words to His Sons
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 49
|
|
###### 1 And Jacob called his sons and said, "Gather together, that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days:
|
|
|
|
###### 2 "Gather together and hear, you sons of Jacob,
|
|
And listen to Israel your father.
|
|
|
|
###### 3 "Reuben, you are my firstborn,
|
|
My might and the beginning of my strength,
|
|
The excellency of dignity and the excellency of power.
|
|
|
|
###### 4 Unstable as water, you shall not excel,
|
|
Because you went up to your father's bed;
|
|
Then you defiled _it_--
|
|
He went up to my couch.
|
|
|
|
###### 5 "Simeon and Levi _are_ brothers;
|
|
Instruments of cruelty _are in_ their dwelling place.
|
|
|
|
###### 6 Let not my soul enter their council;
|
|
Let not my honor be united to their assembly;
|
|
For in their anger they slew a man,
|
|
And in their self-will they hamstrung an ox.
|
|
|
|
###### 7 Cursed _be_ their anger, for _it is_ fierce;
|
|
And their wrath, for it is cruel!
|
|
I will divide them in Jacob
|
|
And scatter them in Israel.
|
|
|
|
###### 8 "Judah, you _are he_ whom your brothers shall praise;
|
|
Your hand _shall be_ on the neck of your enemies;
|
|
Your father's children shall bow down before you.
|
|
|
|
###### 9 Judah _is_ a lion's whelp;
|
|
From the prey, my son, you have gone up.
|
|
He bows down, he lies down as a lion;
|
|
And as a lion, who shall rouse him?
|
|
|
|
###### 10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah,
|
|
Nor a lawgiver from between his feet,
|
|
Until Shiloh comes;
|
|
And to Him _shall be_ the obedience of the people.
|
|
|
|
###### 11 Binding his donkey to the vine,
|
|
And his donkey's colt to the choice vine,
|
|
He washed his garments in wine,
|
|
And his clothes in the blood of grapes.
|
|
|
|
###### 12 His eyes _are_ darker than wine,
|
|
And his teeth whiter than milk.
|
|
|
|
###### 13 "Zebulun shall dwell by the haven of the sea;
|
|
He _shall become_ a haven for ships,
|
|
And his border shall adjoin Sidon.
|
|
|
|
###### 14 "Issachar is a strong donkey,
|
|
Lying down between two burdens;
|
|
|
|
###### 15 He saw that rest _was_ good,
|
|
And that the land _was_ pleasant;
|
|
He bowed his shoulder to bear _a burden,_
|
|
And became a band of slaves.
|
|
|
|
###### 16 "Dan shall judge his people
|
|
As one of the tribes of Israel.
|
|
|
|
###### 17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way,
|
|
A viper by the path,
|
|
That bites the horse's heels
|
|
So that its rider shall fall backward.
|
|
|
|
###### 18 I have waited for your salvation, O Lord!
|
|
|
|
###### 19 "Gad, a troop shall tramp upon him,
|
|
But he shall triumph at last.
|
|
|
|
###### 20 "Bread from Asher _shall be_ rich,
|
|
And he shall yield royal dainties.
|
|
|
|
###### 21 "Naphtali _is_ a deer let loose;
|
|
He uses beautiful words.
|
|
|
|
###### 22 "Joseph _is_ a fruitful bough,
|
|
A fruitful bough by a well;
|
|
His branches run over the wall.
|
|
|
|
###### 23 The archers have bitterly grieved him,
|
|
Shot _at him_ and hated him.
|
|
|
|
###### 24 But his bow remained in strength,
|
|
And the arms of his hands were made strong
|
|
By the hands of the Mighty _God_ of Jacob
|
|
(From there _is_ the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel),
|
|
|
|
###### 25 By the God of your father who will help you,
|
|
And by the Almighty who will bless you
|
|
_With_ blessings of heaven above,
|
|
Blessings of the deep that lies beneath,
|
|
Blessings of the breasts and of the womb.
|
|
|
|
###### 26 The blessings of your father
|
|
Have excelled the blessings of my ancestors,
|
|
Up to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills.
|
|
They shall be on the head of Joseph,
|
|
And on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.
|
|
|
|
###### 27 "Benjamin is a ravenous wolf;
|
|
In the morning he shall devour the prey,
|
|
And at night he shall divide the spoil."
|
|
|
|
###### 28 All these _are_ the twelve tribes of Israel, and this _is_ what their father spoke to them. And he blessed them; he blessed each one according to his own blessing.Jacob's Death and Burial
|
|
|
|
###### 29 Then he charged them and said to them: "I am to be gathered to my people; bury me with my fathers in the cave that _is_ in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
|
|
###### 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 as a possession for a burial place.
|
|
###### 31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife, there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife, and there I buried Leah.
|
|
###### 32 The field and the cave that _is_ there _were_ purchased from the sons of Heth."
|
|
###### 33 And when Jacob had finished commanding his sons, he drew his feet up into the bed and breathed his last, and was gathered to his people.
