HappyH835 art thou, O IsraelH3478: who is like unto thee, O peopleH5971 savedH3467 by the LORDH3068, the shieldH4043 of thy helpH5828, and who is the swordH2719 of thy excellencyH1346! and thine enemiesH341 shall be found liarsH3584 unto thee; and thou shalt treadH1869 upon their high placesH1116. {found…: or, subdued}
And JacobH3290 calledH7121 unto his sonsH1121, and saidH559, Gather yourselves togetherH622, that I may tellH5046 you that which shall befallH7122 you in the lastH319 daysH3117.
Gather yourselves togetherH6908, and hearH8085, ye sonsH1121 of JacobH3290; and hearkenH8085 unto IsraelH3478 your fatherH1.
ReubenH7205, thou art my firstbornH1060, my mightH3581, and the beginningH7225 of my strengthH202, the excellencyH3499 of dignityH7613, and the excellencyH3499 of powerH5794:
UnstableH6349 as waterH4325, thou shalt not excelH3498; because thou wentest upH5927 to thy father'sH1 bedH4904; then defiledst thouH2490 it: he went upH5927 to my couchH3326. {thou shalt…: Heb. do not thou excel} {he went…: or, my couch is gone}
SimeonH8095 and LeviH3878 are brethrenH251; instrumentsH3627 of crueltyH2555 are in their habitationsH4380. {instruments…: or, their swords are weapons of violence}
O my soulH5315, comeH935 not thou into their secretH5475; unto their assemblyH6951, mine honourH3519, be not thou unitedH3161: for in their angerH639 they slewH2026 a manH376, and in their selfwillH7522 they digged downH6131 a wallH7794. {digged…: or, houghed oxen}
CursedH779 be their angerH639, for it was fierceH5794; and their wrathH5678, for it was cruelH7185: I will divideH2505 them in JacobH3290, and scatterH6327 them in IsraelH3478.
JudahH3063, thou art he whom thy brethrenH251 shall praiseH3034: thy handH3027 shall be in the neckH6203 of thine enemiesH341; thy father'sH1 childrenH1121 shall bow downH7812 before thee.
JudahH3063 is a lion'sH738 whelpH1482: from the preyH2964, my sonH1121, thou art gone upH5927: he stooped downH3766, he couchedH7257 as a lionH738, and as an old lionH3833; who shall rouse him upH6965?
The sceptreH7626 shall not departH5493 from JudahH3063, nor a lawgiverH2710 from between his feetH7272, untilH3588 ShilohH7886 comeH935; and unto him shall the gatheringH3349 of the peopleH5971 be.
BindingH631 his foalH5895 unto the vineH1612, and his ass'sH860 coltH1121 unto the choice vineH8321; he washedH3526 his garmentsH3830 in wineH3196, and his clothesH5497 in the bloodH1818 of grapesH6025:
His eyesH5869 shall be redH2447 with wineH3196, and his teethH8127 whiteH3836 with milkH2461.
ZebulunH2074 shall dwellH7931 at the havenH2348 of the seaH3220; and he shall be for an havenH2348 of shipsH591; and his borderH3411 shall be unto ZidonH6721.
IssacharH3485 is a strongH1634 assH2543 couching downH7257 between two burdensH4942:
And he sawH7200 that restH4496 was goodH2896, and the landH776 that it was pleasantH5276; and bowedH5186 his shoulderH7926 to bearH5445, and became a servantH5647 unto tributeH4522.
DanH1835 shall judgeH1777 his peopleH5971, as oneH259 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478.
DanH1835 shall be a serpentH5175 by the wayH1870, an adderH8207 in the pathH734, that bitethH5391 the horseH5483 heelsH6119, so that his riderH7392 shall fallH5307 backwardH268. {an adder: Heb. an arrow-snake}
I have waited forH6960 thy salvationH3444, O LORDH3068.
GadH1410, a troopH1416 shall overcomeH1464 him: but he shall overcomeH1464 at the lastH6119.
Out of AsherH836 his breadH3899 shall be fatH8082, and he shall yieldH5414 royalH4428 daintiesH4574.
NaphtaliH5321 is a hindH355 let looseH7971: he givethH5414 goodlyH8233 wordsH561.
JosephH3130 is a fruitfulH6509 boughH1121, even a fruitfulH6509 boughH1121 by a wellH5869; whose branchesH1323 runH6805 over the wallH7791: {branches: Heb. daughters}
The archersH1167+H2671 have sorely grieved himH4843, and shotH7232 at him, and hated himH7852:
But his bowH7198 abodeH3427 in strengthH386, and the armsH2220 of his handsH3027 were made strongH6339 by the handsH3027 of the mightyH46 God of JacobH3290; (from thence is the shepherdH7462, the stoneH68 of IsraelH3478:)
Even by the GodH410 of thy fatherH1, who shall helpH5826 thee; and byH854 the AlmightyH7706, who shall blessH1288 thee with blessingsH1293 of heavenH8064 aboveH5920, blessingsH1293 of the deepH8415 that liethH7257 under, blessingsH1293 of the breastsH7699, and of the wombH7356:
The blessingsH1293 of thy fatherH1 have prevailedH1396 above the blessingsH1293 of my progenitorsH2029 unto the utmost boundH8379 of the everlastingH5769 hillsH1389: they shall be on the headH7218 of JosephH3130, and on the crown of the headH6936 of him that was separateH5139 from his brethrenH251.
BenjaminH1144 shall ravinH2963 as a wolfH2061: in the morningH1242 he shall devourH398 the preyH5706, and at nightH6153 he shall divideH2505 the spoilH7998.
All these are the twelveH6240+H8147 tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478: and this is it that their fatherH1 spakeH1696 unto them, and blessedH1288 them; everyH834 oneH376 according to his blessingH1293 he blessedH1288 them.
And he chargedH6680 them, and saidH559 unto them, I am to be gatheredH622 unto my peopleH5971: buryH6912 me with my fathersH1 in the caveH4631 that is in the fieldH7704 of EphronH6085 the HittiteH2850,
In the caveH4631 that is in the fieldH7704 of MachpelahH4375, which is beforeH6440 MamreH4471, in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, which AbrahamH85 boughtH7069 with the fieldH7704 of EphronH6085 the HittiteH2850 for a possessionH272 of a buryingplaceH6913.
There they buriedH6912 AbrahamH85 and SarahH8283 his wifeH802; there they buriedH6912 IsaacH3327 and RebekahH7259 his wifeH802; and there I buriedH6912 LeahH3812.
The purchaseH4735 of the fieldH7704 and of the caveH4631 that is therein was from the childrenH1121 of HethH2845.
And when JacobH3290 had made an endH3615 of commandingH6680 his sonsH1121, he gathered upH622 his feetH7272 into the bedH4296, and yielded up the ghostH1478, and was gatheredH622 unto his peopleH5971.
And JacobH3290 calledH7121 unto his sonsH1121, and saidH559, Gather yourselves togetherH622, that I may tellH5046 you that which shall befallH7122 you in the lastH319 daysH3117.
Gather yourselves togetherH6908, and hearH8085, ye sonsH1121 of JacobH3290; and hearkenH8085 unto IsraelH3478 your fatherH1.
ReubenH7205, thou art my firstbornH1060, my mightH3581, and the beginningH7225 of my strengthH202, the excellencyH3499 of dignityH7613, and the excellencyH3499 of powerH5794:
UnstableH6349 as waterH4325, thou shalt not excelH3498; because thou wentest upH5927 to thy father'sH1 bedH4904; then defiledst thouH2490 it: he went upH5927 to my couchH3326. {thou shalt…: Heb. do not thou excel} {he went…: or, my couch is gone}
SimeonH8095 and LeviH3878 are brethrenH251; instrumentsH3627 of crueltyH2555 are in their habitationsH4380. {instruments…: or, their swords are weapons of violence}
O my soulH5315, comeH935 not thou into their secretH5475; unto their assemblyH6951, mine honourH3519, be not thou unitedH3161: for in their angerH639 they slewH2026 a manH376, and in their selfwillH7522 they digged downH6131 a wallH7794. {digged…: or, houghed oxen}
CursedH779 be their angerH639, for it was fierceH5794; and their wrathH5678, for it was cruelH7185: I will divideH2505 them in JacobH3290, and scatterH6327 them in IsraelH3478.
JudahH3063, thou art he whom thy brethrenH251 shall praiseH3034: thy handH3027 shall be in the neckH6203 of thine enemiesH341; thy father'sH1 childrenH1121 shall bow downH7812 before thee.
JudahH3063 is a lion'sH738 whelpH1482: from the preyH2964, my sonH1121, thou art gone upH5927: he stooped downH3766, he couchedH7257 as a lionH738, and as an old lionH3833; who shall rouse him upH6965?
The sceptreH7626 shall not departH5493 from JudahH3063, nor a lawgiverH2710 from between his feetH7272, untilH3588 ShilohH7886 comeH935; and unto him shall the gatheringH3349 of the peopleH5971 be.
BindingH631 his foalH5895 unto the vineH1612, and his ass'sH860 coltH1121 unto the choice vineH8321; he washedH3526 his garmentsH3830 in wineH3196, and his clothesH5497 in the bloodH1818 of grapesH6025:
His eyesH5869 shall be redH2447 with wineH3196, and his teethH8127 whiteH3836 with milkH2461.
ZebulunH2074 shall dwellH7931 at the havenH2348 of the seaH3220; and he shall be for an havenH2348 of shipsH591; and his borderH3411 shall be unto ZidonH6721.
IssacharH3485 is a strongH1634 assH2543 couching downH7257 between two burdensH4942:
And he sawH7200 that restH4496 was goodH2896, and the landH776 that it was pleasantH5276; and bowedH5186 his shoulderH7926 to bearH5445, and became a servantH5647 unto tributeH4522.
DanH1835 shall judgeH1777 his peopleH5971, as oneH259 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478.
DanH1835 shall be a serpentH5175 by the wayH1870, an adderH8207 in the pathH734, that bitethH5391 the horseH5483 heelsH6119, so that his riderH7392 shall fallH5307 backwardH268. {an adder: Heb. an arrow-snake}
I have waited forH6960 thy salvationH3444, O LORDH3068.
GadH1410, a troopH1416 shall overcomeH1464 him: but he shall overcomeH1464 at the lastH6119.
Out of AsherH836 his breadH3899 shall be fatH8082, and he shall yieldH5414 royalH4428 daintiesH4574.
NaphtaliH5321 is a hindH355 let looseH7971: he givethH5414 goodlyH8233 wordsH561.
JosephH3130 is a fruitfulH6509 boughH1121, even a fruitfulH6509 boughH1121 by a wellH5869; whose branchesH1323 runH6805 over the wallH7791: {branches: Heb. daughters}
The archersH1167+H2671 have sorely grieved himH4843, and shotH7232 at him, and hated himH7852:

Even by the GodH410 of thy fatherH1, who shall helpH5826 thee; and byH854 the AlmightyH7706, who shall blessH1288 thee with blessingsH1293 of heavenH8064 aboveH5920, blessingsH1293 of the deepH8415 that liethH7257 under, blessingsH1293 of the breastsH7699, and of the wombH7356:
The blessingsH1293 of thy fatherH1 have prevailedH1396 above the blessingsH1293 of my progenitorsH2029 unto the utmost boundH8379 of the everlastingH5769 hillsH1389: they shall be on the headH7218 of JosephH3130, and on the crown of the headH6936 of him that was separateH5139 from his brethrenH251.
BenjaminH1144 shall ravinH2963 as a wolfH2061: in the morningH1242 he shall devourH398 the preyH5706, and at nightH6153 he shall divideH2505 the spoilH7998.

The purchaseH4735 of the fieldH7704 and of the caveH4631 that is therein was from the childrenH1121 of HethH2845.
And when JacobH3290 had made an endH3615 of commandingH6680 his sonsH1121, he gathered upH622 his feetH7272 into the bedH4296, and yielded up the ghostH1478, and was gatheredH622 unto his peopleH5971.
And this is the blessingH1293, wherewith MosesH4872 the manH376 of GodH430 blessedH1288 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 beforeH6440 his deathH4194.
And he saidH559, The LORDH3068 cameH935 from SinaiH5514, and rose upH2224 from SeirH8165 unto them; he shined forthH3313 from mountH2022 ParanH6290, and he cameH857 with ten thousandsH7233 of saintsH6944: from his right handH3225 went a fieryH799+H784 lawH1881 for them. {a fiery…: Heb. a fire of law}
YeaH637, he lovedH2245 the peopleH5971; all his saintsH6918 are in thy handH3027: and they sat downH8497 at thy feetH7272; every one shall receiveH5375 of thy wordsH1703.
MosesH4872 commandedH6680 us a lawH8451, even the inheritanceH4181 of the congregationH6952 of JacobH3290.
And he was kingH4428 in JeshurunH3484, when the headsH7218 of the peopleH5971 and the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 were gatheredH622 togetherH3162.
Let ReubenH7205 liveH2421, and not dieH4191; and let not his menH4962 be fewH4557.
And this is the blessing of JudahH3063: and he saidH559, HearH8085, LORDH3068, the voiceH6963 of JudahH3063, and bringH935 him unto his peopleH5971: let his handsH3027 be sufficientH7227 for him; and be thou an helpH5828 to him from his enemiesH6862.
And of LeviH3878 he saidH559, Let thy ThummimH8550 and thy UrimH224 be with thy holyH2623 oneH376, whom thou didst proveH5254 at MassahH4532, and with whom thou didst striveH7378 at the watersH4325 of MeribahH4809;
Who saidH559 unto his fatherH1 and to his motherH517, I have not seenH7200 him; neither did he acknowledgeH5234 his brethrenH251, nor knewH3045 his own childrenH1121: for they have observedH8104 thy wordH565, and keptH5341 thy covenantH1285.
They shall teachH3384 JacobH3290 thy judgmentsH4941, and IsraelH3478 thy lawH8451: they shall putH7760 incenseH6988 beforeH639 thee, and whole burnt sacrificeH3632 upon thine altarH4196. {They shall teach: or, Let them teach} {they shall put: or, let them put} {before…: Heb. at thy nose}
BlessH1288, LORDH3068, his substanceH2428, and acceptH7521 the workH6467 of his handsH3027: smiteH4272 through the loinsH4975 of them that riseH6965 against him, and of them that hateH8130 him, that they riseH6965 notH4480 againH6965.
And of BenjaminH1144 he saidH559, The belovedH3039 of the LORDH3068 shall dwellH7931 in safetyH983 by him; and the LORD shall coverH2653 him all the dayH3117 long, and he shall dwellH7931 between his shouldersH3802.
And of JosephH3130 he saidH559, BlessedH1288 of the LORDH3068 be his landH776, for the precious thingsH4022 of heavenH8064, for the dewH2919, and for the deepH8415 that coucheth beneathH7257,
And for the preciousH4022 fruitsH8393 brought forth by the sunH8121, and for the precious thingsH4022 put forthH1645 by the moonH3391, {put: Heb. thrust} {moon: Heb. moons}
And for the chief thingsH7218 of the ancientH6924 mountainsH2042, and for the precious thingsH4022 of the lastingH5769 hillsH1389,
And for the precious thingsH4022 of the earthH776 and fulnessH4393 thereof, and for the good willH7522 of him that dweltH7931 in the bushH5572: let the blessing comeH935 upon the headH7218 of JosephH3130, and upon the top of the headH6936 of him that was separatedH5139 from his brethrenH251.
His gloryH1926 is like the firstlingH1060 of his bullockH7794, and his hornsH7161 are like the hornsH7161 of unicornsH7214: with them he shall pushH5055 the peopleH5971 togetherH3162 to the endsH657 of the earthH776: and they are the ten thousandsH7233 of EphraimH669, and they are the thousandsH505 of ManassehH4519. {unicorns: Heb. an unicorn}
And of ZebulunH2074 he saidH559, RejoiceH8055, ZebulunH2074, in thy going outH3318; and, IssacharH3485, in thy tentsH168.
They shall callH7121 the peopleH5971 unto the mountainH2022; there they shall offerH2076 sacrificesH2077 of righteousnessH6664: for they shall suckH3243 of the abundanceH8228 of the seasH3220, and of treasuresH8226 hidH2934 in the sandH2344.
And of GadH1410 he saidH559, BlessedH1288 be he that enlargethH7337 GadH1410: he dwellethH7931 as a lionH3833, and tearethH2963 the armH2220 withH637 the crown of the headH6936.
And he providedH7200 the first partH7225 for himself, because there, in a portionH2513 of the lawgiverH2710, was he seatedH5603; and he cameH857 with the headsH7218 of the peopleH5971, he executedH6213 the justiceH6666 of the LORDH3068, and his judgmentsH4941 with IsraelH3478. {seated: Heb. cieled}
And of DanH1835 he saidH559, DanH1835 is a lion'sH738 whelpH1482: he shall leapH2187 from BashanH1316.
And of NaphtaliH5321 he saidH559, O NaphtaliH5321, satisfiedH7649 with favourH7522, and fullH4392 with the blessingH1293 of the LORDH3068: possessH3423 thou the westH3220 and the southH1864.
And of AsherH836 he saidH559, Let AsherH836 be blessedH1288 with childrenH1121; let him be acceptableH7521 to his brethrenH251, and let him dipH2881 his footH7272 in oilH8081.
Thy shoesH4515 shall be ironH1270 and brassH5178; and as thy daysH3117, so shall thy strengthH1679 be. {Thy shoes: or, Under thy shoes}
There is none like unto the GodH410 of JeshurunH3484, who ridethH7392 upon the heavenH8064 in thy helpH5828, and in his excellencyH1346 on the skyH7834.
The eternalH6924 GodH430 is thy refugeH4585, and underneath are the everlastingH5769 armsH2220: and he shall thrust outH1644 the enemyH341 from beforeH6440 thee; and shall sayH559, DestroyH8045 them.
IsraelH3478 then shall dwellH7931 in safetyH983 aloneH910: the fountainH5869 of JacobH3290 shall be upon a landH776 of cornH1715 and wineH8492; also his heavensH8064 shall drop downH6201 dewH2919.
HappyH835 art thou, O IsraelH3478: who is like unto thee, O peopleH5971 savedH3467 by the LORDH3068, the shieldH4043 of thy helpH5828, and who is the swordH2719 of thy excellencyH1346! and thine enemiesH341 shall be found liarsH3584 unto thee; and thou shalt treadH1869 upon their high placesH1116. {found…: or, subdued}
