Chapter 49
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.
2
Gather
yourselves
together,
and
hear,
ye
sons
of
Jacob;
and
hearken
unto
Israel
your
father.
3
Reuben,
thou
art
my
firstborn,
my
might,
and
the
beginning
of
my
strength,
the
excellency
of
dignity,
and
the
excellency
of
power:
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.
5
Simeon
and
Levi
are
brethren;
instruments
of
cruelty
are
in
their
habitations.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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:
12
His
eyes
shall
be
red
with
wine,
and
his
teeth
white
with
milk.
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.
14
Issachar
is
a
strong
ass
couching
down
between
two
burdens:
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.
16
Dan
shall
judge
his
people,
as
one
of
the
tribes
of
Israel.
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.
18
I
have
waited
for
thy
salvation,
O
Lord.
19
Gad,
a
troop
shall
overcome
him:
but
he
shall
overcome
at
the
last.
20
Out
of
Asher
his
bread
shall
be
fat,
and
he
shall
yield
royal
dainties.
21
Naphtali
is
a
hind
let
loose:
he
giveth
goodly
words.
22
Joseph
is
a
fruitful
bough,
even
a
fruitful
bough
by
a
well;
whose
branches
run
over
the
wall:
23
The
archers
have
sorely
grieved
him,
and
shot
at
him,
and
hated
him:
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:)
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:
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.
27
Benjamin
shall
ravin
as
a
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
it
that
their
father
spake
unto
them,
and
blessed
them;
every
one
according
to
his
blessing
he
blessed
them.
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,
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.
31
There
they
buried
Abraham
and
Sarah
his
wife;
there
they
buried
Isaac
and
Rebekah
his
wife;
and
there
I
buried
Leah.
32
The
purchase
of
the
field
and
of
the
cave
that
is
therein
was
from
the
children
of
Heth.
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.
