RF GEN 49:1 Jacob's Blessings to his sons.
Jacob afterwards called his sons and said; "Assemble and I will inform you What will befall you in future times;
RF GEN 49:2 Collect and listen, sons of Jacob, Yes, list to your father Israel;
RF GEN 49:3 To Reuben.
Reuben! The first of my vigour,—You are the crown of my passion;
Excelling in beauty, excelling in strength!
RF GEN 49:4 Boiling like water, you lost command;—
For mounting your father's bed, Yes! defiling my honour's abode.
RF GEN 49:5 To Simeon and Levi.
Simeon and Levi are brothers; Cruel weapons are hidden with them;
RF GEN 49:6 To their plottings go not my soul! My honour, join not their clan!
For they murdered guiltless men, And joyfully murdered a prince.
RF GEN 49:7 Curse their crime, as great, and their transgression,
For it sorely troubled Jacob, and Israel shamed.
RF GEN 49:8 To Judah.
Judah you shall direct your brothers;
Your hand shall be on the neck of your foes;
To you shall the sons of your father bow!
RF GEN 49:9 A young lion, Judah, for plunder!
My son springs from his couch like a lion—
And as a lioness,—who dare rouse him
RF GEN 49:10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah,
Or the Giver of Law from between his feet,
Till peace arrive, and the nations obey him.—
RF GEN 49:11 Bound to the vine like an ass,
And a colt the son of a stepper,
He washed his garments in wine,
And his clothes in the blood of clusters!
RF GEN 49:12 His eyes shall be bright as grapes,
And his teeth be white as milk!
RF GEN 49:13 To Zebulon.
Let Zebulon dwell on the shore of the sea,
On the shore of the ships,
And extend his legs to the fishery!
RF GEN 49:14 To Issakar.
A strong ass, Issakar, lies in the stall;—
RF GEN 49:15 And he saw that rest was good,
And the land, that it was pleasant,
So he gives his back to the load,
And becomes a servant for hire!
RF GEN 49:16 To Dan.
Dan shall govern his people; As a sceptred Prince of Israel!
RF GEN 49:17 Dan is a snake in the path,—
An adder laid in the road,—
He will bite the heels of the horses,
Who will throw their riders backwards.
For your victory trust on the LORD!
RF GEN 49:18 To Gad.
Gad,—A troop!—He shall troop,
RF GEN 49:19 But a troop shall deceive him!
RF GEN 49:20 To Asher.
For Asher, his food shall be rich,
And his are the royal pleasures.
RF GEN 49:21 To Naphtali.
Naphtali is a nimble stag,
Has the gift of eloquent speech!
RF GEN 49:22 To Joseph.
Joseph! a fruitful plant!
A fruitful plant by a well,—
With branches spread on the wall!
RF GEN 49:23 But the master of arrows provoked,
And shot, and pierced him;
RF GEN 49:24 But he turned to his powerful bow,
And the hands of his arms were quick
By the hands of the mighty GOD of Jacob,
From Whom is Israel's guardian stone.
RF GEN 49:25 May the GOD of your father guard you,—
And the ALMIGHTY bless you!
With blessings from the sky above,
With blessings below of dancing water,
With the bliss of the breasts, and love!
RF GEN 49:26 May the blessings of your father strengthen,
With the bliss of the fertile vales.—
May the wealth of the ancient hills Be heaped on the head of Joseph;
More nobly crowned than his brothers!
RF GEN 49:27 To Benjamin.
Benjamin! a wolf, shall eat plunder at morn,
And at night shall divide his spoil."
RF GEN 49:28 All the offshoots of Israel were twelve. And their father said this to them, and blessed each with his blessing; with blessings adapted to each.
RF GEN 49:29 Then he addressed them and said;—"I shall be added to my people. Bury me with my fathers, in the cave which is in the field of Ephron the Hitite;
RF GEN 49:30 in the cave which is in the field of Makphelah, which is near Mamra in the land of Canaan, which field Abraham bought from Ephron the Hitite for a place of burial.
RF GEN 49:31 Abraham is buried there, and Sarah his wife. Isaac is buried there, and Rebekka his wife, and there I buried Leah.
RF GEN 49:32 The field was bought, and the cave in it, from the sons of Heth."
RF GEN 49:33 Jacob thus finished instructing his sons, and stretched out his legs upon the bed, and expired, and was added to his people.
