Genesis 49

1 Jacob calleth his sons to bless them. 3 Their blessing in particular. 29 He chargeth them about his burial. 33 He dieth.

 49:1 ¶ And Jacob 3290 called 7121 z8799 unto x413 his sons, 1121 and said, 559 z8799 Gather yourselves together, 622 z8734 that I may tell 5046 z8686 you [that] x853 which x834 shall befall 7122 z8799 you in the last 319 days. 3117

 49:2 Gather yourselves together, 6908 z8734 and hear, 8085 z8798 ye sons 1121 of Jacob; 3290 and hearken 8085 z8798 unto x413 Israel 3478 your father. 1

 49:3 ¶ Reuben, 7205 thou x859 [art] my firstborn, 1060 my might, 3581 and the beginning 7225 of my strength, 202 the excellency 3499 of dignity, 7613 and the excellency 3499 of power: 5794

 49:4 Unstable 6349 as water, 4325 thou shalt not x408 excel; 3498 z8686 because x3588 thou wentest up 5927 z8804 to thy father's 1 bed; 4904 then x227 defiledst x2490 thou y2490 z8765 [it]: he went up 5927 z8804 to my couch. 3326

 49:5 ¶ Simeon 8095 and Levi 3878 [are] brethren; 251 instruments 3627 of cruelty 2555 [are in] their habitations. 4380

 49:6 O my soul, 5315 come 935 z8799 not x408 thou into their secret; 5475 unto their assembly, 6951 mine honour, 3519 be not x408 thou united: 3161 z8799 for x3588 in their anger 639 they slew 2026 z8804 a man, 376 and in their selfwill 7522 they digged down 6131 z8765 a wall. y7794 x7791

 49:7 Cursed 779 z8803 [be] their anger, 639 for x3588 [it was] fierce; 5794 and their wrath, 5678 for x3588 it was cruel: 7185 z8804 I will divide 2505 z8762 them in Jacob, 3290 and scatter 6327 z8686 them in Israel. 3478

 49:9 Judah 3063 [is] a lion's 738 whelp: 1482 from the prey, 2964 x4480 my son, 1121 thou art gone up: 5927 z8804 he stooped down, 3766 z8804 he couched 7257 z8804 as a lion, 738 and as an old lion; 3833 who x4310 shall rouse him up? 6965 z8686

 49:10 The sceptre 7626 shall not x3808 depart 5493 z8799 from Judah, 3063 x4480 nor a lawgiver 2710 z8781 from between x4480 x996 his feet, 7272 until 3588 x5704 Shiloh 7886 come; 935 z8799 and unto him [shall] the gathering 3349 of the people 5971 [be].

 49:11 Binding 631 z8802 his foal 5895 unto the vine, 1612 and his ass's 860 colt 1121 unto the choice vine; 8321 he washed 3526 z8765 his garments 3830 in wine, 3196 and his clothes 5497 in the blood 1818 of grapes: 6025

 49:15 And he saw 7200 z8799 that x3588 rest 4496 [was] good, 2896 and the land 776 that x3588 [it was] pleasant; 5276 z8804 and bowed 5186 z8799 his shoulder 7926 to bear, 5445 z8800 and became x1961 a servant 5647 z8802 unto tribute. 4522

 49:16 ¶ Dan 1835 shall judge 1777 z8799 his people, 5971 as one 259 of the tribes 7626 of Israel. 3478

 49:17 Dan 1835 shall be x1961 a serpent 5175 by x5921 the way, 1870 an adder 8207 in x5921 the path, 734 that biteth 5391 z8802 the horse 5483 heels, 6119 so that his rider 7392 z8802 shall fall 5307 z8799 backward. 268

 49:23 The archers 1167 2671 have sorely grieved x4843 him, y4843 z8762 and shot 7232 z8804 [at him], and hated x7852 him: y7852 z8799
