Yacob Calls His Sons To Bless Them

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:1

 ?  And Yacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:2

Gather yourselves together, and hear, you sons of Yacob; and hearken unto Yisrael your father.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:3

Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:4

Unstable as water, you shall not excel; because you wentest up to your father's bed; then defiledst you it: he went up to my couch.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:5

 ?  Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:6

O my soul, come not you into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not you united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:7

Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Yacob, and scatter them in Yisrael.

Yahudah Blessind

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:8

 ?  Yahudah, you are he whom your brethren shall praise: your hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; your father's children shall bow down before you.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:9

Yahudah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, you are gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:10

The sceptre shall not depart from Yahudah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:11

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:

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:12

His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.

Zebulun, Issachar, Dan Blessind

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:13

 ?  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.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:14

Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:15

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.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:16

Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Yisrael.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:17

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.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:18

I have waited for your yeshua, O YAHWEH.

Gad, Asher, Naphtali Blessind

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:19

Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:20

Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:21

Naphtali is a hind let loose: he gives beautiful words.

Yoseph And Benjamin Blessind

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:22

 ?  Yoseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:23

The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:24

But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the Mighty One of Yacob; from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Yisrael:

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:25

Even by YAHWEH of your father, who shall help you; and by El Shadday, who shall bless you with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:26

The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Yoseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:27

Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.

Yacob's Charge Respecting His Burial, His Death

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:28

 ?  All these are the twelve tribes of Yisrael: and this is it that their father spoke unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:29

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,

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:30

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.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:31

There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Yitschaq and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:32

The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 49:33

And when Yacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the soul, and was gathered unto his people.
