I shall disperse them in Jacob, I shall scatter them through Israel.Ĩ Judah, your brothers will praise you: you grip your enemies by the neck, your father's sons will do you homage.ĩ Judah is a lion's whelp You stand over your prey, my son. 1 Jacob called his sons and said, 'Gather round, so that I can tell you what is in store for you in the final days.Ģ Gather round, sons of Jacob, and listen listen to Israel your father.ģ Reuben, you are my first-born, my vigour, and the first-fruit of my manhood, foremost in pride, foremost in strength,Ĥ uncontrolled as water: you will not be foremost, for you climbed into your father's bed, and so defiled my couch, to my sorrow.ĥ Simeon and Levi are brothers in carrying out their malicious plans.Ħ May my soul not enter their council nor my heart join their company, for in their rage they have killed men and hamstrung oxen at their whim.ħ Accursed be their rage for its ruthlessness, their wrath for its ferocity.
