And Jacob called unto his sons, and said: Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the latter days.Assemble yourselves, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; And hearken unto Israel your father.Reuben, thou art my first- born, my might, and the beginning of my strength; The pre- eminence of dignity, and the pre- eminence of power.Boiling over as water, thou shalt not have the pre- eminence; Because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed; Then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch.Simeon and Levi are brethren; Weapons of violence are their swords.O my soul, come not thou into their council; Unto their assembly, my glory, be not thou united; For in their anger they slew a man, And in their self- will they hocked an ox.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.Judah, thee shall thy brethren praise: Thy hand shall be on the neck of thine enemies; Thy father’s sons shall bow down before thee.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 a lioness; who shall rouse him up?The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, Nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, Until Shiloh come; And unto him shall the obedience of the peoples be.Binding his foal unto the vine, And his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; He hath washed his garments in wine, And his vesture in the blood of grapes:His eyes shall be red with wine, And his teeth white with milk.Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; And he shall be for a haven of ships; And his border shall be upon Sidon.Issachar is a strong ass, Couching down between the sheepfolds:And he saw a resting- place that it was good, And the land that it was pleasant; And he bowed his shoulder to bear, And became a servant under taskwork.Dan shall judge his people, As one of the tribes of Israel.Dan shall be a serpent in the way, An adder in the path, That biteth the horse’s heels, So that his rider falleth backward.I have waited for thy salvation, O Jehovah.Gad, a troop shall press upon him; But he shall press upon their heel.Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, And he shall yield royal dainties.Naphtali is a hind let loose: He giveth goodly words.Joseph is a fruitful bough, A fruitful bough by a fountain; His branches run over the wall.The archers have sorely grieved him, And shot at him, and persecuted him:But his bow abode in strength, And the arms of his hands were made strong, By the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob( From thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel),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 coucheth beneath, Blessings of the breasts, and of the womb.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.Benjamin is a wolf that raveneth: In the morning he shall devour the prey, And at even he shall divide the spoil.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.

And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.And he said, Jehovah came from Sinai, And rose from Seir unto them; He shined forth from mount Paran, And he came from the ten thousands of holy ones: At his right hand was a fiery law for them.Yea, he loveth the people; All his saints are in thy hand: And they sat down at thy feet; Every one shall receive of thy words.Moses commanded us a law, An inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.And he was king in Jeshurun, When the heads of the people were gathered, All the tribes of Israel together.Let Reuben live, and not die; Nor let his men be few.And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, Jehovah, the voice of Judah, And bring him in unto his people. With his hands he contended for himself; And thou shalt be a help against his adversaries.And of Levi he said, Thy Thummim and thy Urim are with thy godly one, Whom thou didst prove at Massah, With whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;Who said of his father, and of his mother, I have not seen him; Neither did he acknowledge his brethren, Nor knew he his own children: For they have observed thy word, And keep thy covenant.They shall teach Jacob thine ordinances, And Israel thy law: They shall put incense before thee, And whole burnt- offering upon thine altar.Bless, Jehovah, his substance, And accept the work of his hands: Smite through the loins of them that rise up against him, And of them that hate him, that they rise not again.Of Benjamin he said, The beloved of Jehovah shall dwell in safety by him; He covereth him all the day long, And he dwelleth between his shoulders.And of Joseph he said, Blessed of Jehovah be his land, For the precious things of heaven, for the dew, And for the deep that coucheth beneath,And for the precious things of the fruits of the sun, And for the precious things of the growth of the moons,And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, And for the precious things of the everlasting hills,And for the precious things of the earth and the fulness thereof, And the good will of him that dwelt in the bush. Let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, And upon the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.The firstling of his herd, majesty is his; And his horns are the horns of the wild- ox: With them he shall push the peoples all of them, even the ends of the earth: And they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, And they are the thousands of Manasseh.And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; And, Issachar, in thy tents.They shall call the peoples unto the mountain; There shall they offer sacrifices of righteousness: For they shall suck the abundance of the seas, And the hidden treasures of the sand.And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: He dwelleth as a lioness, And teareth the arm, yea, the crown of the head.And he provided the first part for himself, For there was the lawgiver’s portion reserved; And he came with the heads of the people; He executed the righteousness of Jehovah, And his ordinances with Israel.And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion’s whelp, That leapeth forth from Bashan.And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favor, And full with the blessing of Jehovah, Possess thou the west and the south.And of Asher he said, Blessed be Asher with children; Let him be acceptable unto his brethren, And let him dip his foot in oil.Thy bars shall be iron and brass; And as thy days, so shall thy strength be.There is none like unto God, O Jeshurun, Who rideth upon the heavens for thy help, And in his excellency on the skies.The eternal God is thy dwelling- place, And underneath are the everlasting arms. And he thrust out the enemy from before thee, And said, Destroy.And Israel dwelleth in safety, The fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine; Yea, his heavens drop down dew.Happy art thou, O Israel: Who is like unto thee, a people saved by Jehovah, The shield of thy help, And the sword of thy excellency! And thine enemies shall submit themselves unto thee; And thou shalt tread upon their high places.
