1 And Jacob <03290> called <07121> (8799) unto his sons <01121>, and said <0559> (8799), Gather yourselves together <0622> (8734), that I may tell <05046> (8686) you that which shall befall <07122> (8799) you in the last <0319> days <03117>.
2 Gather yourselves together <06908> (8734), and hear <08085> (8798), ye sons <01121> of Jacob <03290> ; and hearken <08085> (8798) unto Israel <03478> your father <01>.

4 Unstable <06349> as water <04325>, thou shalt not excel <03498> (8686); because thou wentest up <05927> (8804) to thy father#s <01> bed <04904>; then defiledst thou <02490> (8765) it: he went up <05927> (8804) to my couch <03326>.

6 O my soul <05315>, come <0935> (8799) not thou into their secret <05475>; unto their assembly <06951>, mine honour <03519>, be not thou united <03161> (8799): for in their anger <0639> they slew <02026> (8804) a man <0376>, and in their selfwill <07522> they digged down <06131> (8765) a wall <07794>.
7 Cursed <0779> (8803) be their anger <0639>, for it was fierce <05794>; and their wrath <05678> , for it was cruel <07185> (8804): I will divide <02505> (8762) them in Jacob <03290>, and scatter <06327> (8686) them in Israel <03478>.
8 Judah <03063>, thou art he whom thy brethren <0251> shall praise <03034> (8686): thy hand <03027> shall be in the neck <06203> of thine enemies <0341> (8802); thy father#s <01> children <01121> shall bow down <07812> (8691) before thee.
9 Judah <03063> is a lion#s <0738> whelp <01482>: from the prey <02964>, my son <01121>, thou art gone up <05927> (8804): he stooped down <03766> (8804), he couched <07257> (8804) as a lion <0738>, and as an old lion <03833>; who shall rouse him up <06965> (8686)?
10 The sceptre <07626> shall not depart <05493> (8799) from Judah <03063>, nor a lawgiver <02710> (8781) from between his feet <07272>, until <03588> Shiloh <07886> come <0935> (8799); and unto him shall the gathering <03349> of the people <05971> be.
11 Binding <0631> (8802) his foal <05895> unto the vine <01612>, and his ass#s <0860> colt <01121> unto the choice vine <08321>; he washed <03526> (8765) his garments <03830> in wine <03196>, and his clothes <05497> in the blood <01818> of grapes <06025>:
12 His eyes <05869> shall be red <02447> with wine <03196>, and his teeth <08127> white <03836> with milk <02461>.
13 Zebulun <02074> shall dwell <07931> (8799) at the haven <02348> of the sea <03220>; and he shall be for an haven <02348> of ships <0591>; and his border <03411> shall be unto Zidon <06721>.
14 Issachar <03485> is a strong <01634> ass <02543> couching down <07257> (8802) between two burdens <04942>:
15 And he saw <07200> (8799) that rest <04496> was good <02896>, and the land <0776> that it was pleasant <05276> (8804); and bowed <05186> (8799) his shoulder <07926> to bear <05445> (8800), and became a servant <05647> (8802) unto tribute <04522>.
16 Dan <01835> shall judge <01777> (8799) his people <05971>, as one <0259> of the tribes <07626> of Israel <03478>.
17 Dan <01835> shall be a serpent <05175> by the way <01870>, an adder <08207> in the path <0734>, that biteth <05391> (8802) the horse <05483> heels <06119>, so that his rider <07392> (8802) shall fall <05307> (8799) backward <0268>.

19 Gad <01410>, a troop <01416> shall overcome <01464> (8799) him: but he shall overcome <01464> (8799) at the last <06119>.
20 Out of Asher <0836> his bread <03899> shall be fat <08082>, and he shall yield <05414> (8799) royal <04428> dainties <04574>.
21 Naphtali <05321> is a hind <0355> let loose <07971> (8803): he giveth <05414> (8802) goodly <08233> words <0561>.
22 Joseph <03130> is a fruitful <06509> (8802) bough <01121>, even a fruitful <06509> (8802) bough <01121> by a well <05869>; whose branches <01323> run <06805> (8804) over the wall <07791>:
23 The archers <01167> <02671> have sorely grieved him <04843> (8762), and shot <07232> (8804) at him, and hated him <07852> (8799):
24 But his bow <07198> abode <03427> (8799) in strength <0386>, and the arms <02220> of his hands <03027> were made strong <06339> (8799) by the hands <03027> of the mighty <046> God of Jacob <03290>; (from thence is the shepherd <07462> (8802), the stone <068> of Israel <03478>:)
25 Even by the God <0410> of thy father <01>, who shall help <05826> (8799) thee; and by <0854> the Almighty <07706>, who shall bless <01288> (8762) thee with blessings <01293> of heaven <08064> above <05920>, blessings <01293> of the deep <08415> that lieth <07257> (8802) under, blessings <01293> of the breasts <07699>, and of the womb <07356> :
26 The blessings <01293> of thy father <01> have prevailed <01396> (8804) above the blessings <01293> of my progenitors <02029> (8802) unto the utmost bound <08379> of the everlasting <05769> hills <01389>: they shall be on the head <07218> of Joseph <03130>, and on the crown of the head <06936> of him that was separate <05139> from his brethren <0251>.
27 Benjamin <01144> shall ravin <02963> (8799) as a wolf <02061>: in the morning <01242> he shall devour <0398> (8799) the prey <05706>, and at night <06153> he shall divide <02505> (8762) the spoil <07998>.
28 All these are the twelve <06240> <08147> tribes <07626> of Israel <03478>: and this is it that their father <01> spake <01696> (8765) unto them, and blessed <01288> (8762) them; every <0834> one <0376> according to his blessing <01293> he blessed <01288> (8765) them.
29 And he charged <06680> (8762) them, and said <0559> (8799) unto them, I am to be gathered <0622> (8737) unto my people <05971>: bury <06912> (8798) me with my fathers <01> in the cave <04631> that is in the field <07704> of Ephron <06085> the Hittite <02850>,
30 In the cave <04631> that is in the field <07704> of Machpelah <04375>, which is before <06440> Mamre <04471>, in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, which Abraham <085> bought <07069> (8804) with the field <07704> of Ephron <06085> the Hittite <02850> for a possession <0272> of a buryingplace <06913>.
31 There they buried <06912> (8804) Abraham <085> and Sarah <08283> his wife <0802>; there they buried <06912> (8804) Isaac <03327> and Rebekah <07259> his wife <0802>; and there I buried <06912> (8804) Leah <03812> .
32 The purchase <04735> of the field <07704> and of the cave <04631> that is therein was from the children <01121> of Heth <02845>.
33 And when Jacob <03290> had made an end <03615> (8762) of commanding <06680> (8763) his sons <01121> , he gathered up <0622> (8799) his feet <07272> into the bed <04296>, and yielded up the ghost <01478> (8799), and was gathered <0622> (8735) unto his people <05971>.
