Ἐκάλεσεν δὲ Ἰακὼβ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Συνάχθητε, ἳνα ἀναηεἰλω ὑμῖν τί ἀπαντήσει ὑμῖν ἐπ’ ἐσχάτων τῶν

συνάχθητε καὶ ἀκούσατέ μου, υἱοὶ Ἰακώβ·

ἀκούσατε Ἰσραήλ, ἀκούσατε τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν.

Ῥουβὴν πρωτότοκός μου, σὺ ἰσχύς μου καὶ ἀρχὴ τέκνων μου·

σκληρὸς φέρεσθαι καἰ σκληρὸς αὐθάδης.

ἐξύβρισας ὡς ὕδωρ, μὴ ἐκζέσῃς.

ἀνέβης γὰρ ἐπ’ τὴν κοιτην του πατρός σου·

τότε ἐμίανας τὴν στρωμνὴν οὗ ἀνέβης.

ἐμίανας τὴν στρωμνὴν οὗ ἀνέβης.

Συμεὼν καὶ Λευὶ ἀδελφοί·

συνετέλεσαν ἀδικίαν ἐξ αἱρέσεως αὐτῶν.

εἰς βουλὴν αὐτῶν μὴ ἔλθοι ἡ ψυχή μου,

καὶ ἐπὶ τῇ συστάσει αὐτῶν μὴ ἐρίσαι τὰ ἥπατά μου.

¹²

ὅτι ἐν τῷ θυμῷ αὐτῶν ἀπέκτειναν ἀνθρώπους,

καὶ ἐν τῇ ἐπιθυμίᾳ αὐγῶν ἐνευροκόπησαν ταῦρον.

ἐπικατάρατος ὁ θυμὸς αὐτῶν, ὅτι αὐθάδης·

καὶ ἡ μῆνις αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἐσκληρύνθη.

διαμεριῶ αὐτοὺς ἐν Ἰακώβ,

καὶ διασπερῶ αὐτοὺς ἐν Ἰσραήλ.

Ἰούδα, σὲ αἰνέσαισαν οἱ ἀδελφοί σου·

αἱ χεῖρές σου ἐπὶ νώτου τῶν ἐχθρῶν σου.

προσκυνήσουσίν σοι οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ πατρός σου.

σκύμνος λέοντος, Ἰούδα·

ἐκ βλαστοῦ, υἱέ μου, ἀνέβης·

ἀναπεσὼν ἐκοιμήθης ὡς λέων καὶ ὡς σκύμνος·

τίς ἐγερεῖ αὐτόν ;

οὐκ ἐκλείψει ἄρχων ἑξ Ἰούδα,

καὶ ἡγούμενος ἐκ τῶν

ἕως ἂν ἔλθῃ τὰ ἀποκείμενα αὐτῶ,

καὶ αὐτὸς προσδοκία ἐθνῶν.

δεσμεύων πρὸς ἄμπελον τὸν πῶλον αὐτοῦ,

καὶ τῇ ἕλικι τὸν πῶλον τῆς ὄνου αὐτοῦ·

πλυνεῖ ἐν οἴνῳ τὴν στολὴν αὐτοῦ,

καὶ ἐν σταφυλῆς σταφυλῆς τὴν περιβολὴν αὐτοῦ.

χαροποιοὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ὑπὲρ οἶνον,

καὶ λευκοὶ οἱ ὀδόντες αὐτοῦ ἢ γάλα.

Ζαβουλὼν παράλιος κατοικήσει,

καὶ αὐτὸς παρ’ ὅρμον πλοίων,

καὶ παρατενεῖ ἕως Σιδῶνος.

Ἰσσαχὰρ τὸ καλὸν ἑπεθύμησεν,

ἀναπαυόμενος ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν κλήρων·

καὶ ἰδὼν τὴν ἀνόπαυσιν ὅτι καλή,

καὶ τὴν γῆν ὅτι πίων,

ὑπέθηκεν τὸν ὦμον αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ πονεῖν,

καὶ ἐγενήθη ἀνὴρ γεωργός.

⁴⁵

Δὰν κρινεῖ τὸν ἑαυτοῦ λαόν,

ὡσεὶ καὶ μία φυλὴ ἐν Ἰσραήλ.

καὶ γενηθήτω Δὰν ὄφις ἐφ’ ὁδοῦ,

ένκαθήμενος ἐπὶ τρίβου·

δάκνων πτέρναν ἵππου,

καὶ πεσεῖται ὁ ἱππεὺς εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω,

τὴν σωτηρίαν περιμένων Κυρίου.

Γάδ, πειρατήριον πειρατεύσει αὐτόν·

αὐτὸς δὲ πειρατεύσει αὐτῶν κατὰ πόδας.

Ἀσήρ, πίων αὐτοῦ ὁ ἄρτος,

καὶ αὐτὸς δώσει τρυφὴν ἄρχουσιν.

Νεφθαλεί, στέλεχος ἀνειμένον,

ἐπιδιδοὺς ἐν τῷ γενήματι

Υἱὸς ηὐξημένος Ἰωσήφ,

υἱὸς ηὐξημένος μου ζηλωτός.

υἱός μου νεώτατος·

εἰς ὃν διαβουλευόμενοι ἐλοιδόρουν,

καὶ ἐνεῖχον αὐτῷ κύριοι τοξευμάτων·

καὶ συνετρίβη μετὰ κράτους τὰ τόξα αὐτῶν,

καὶ ἐξελύθη τὰ νεῦρα βραχιόνων χειρὸς αὐτῶν

ἐκεῖθεν ὁ κατίσχυσας Ἰσραήλ·

24 παρὰ θεοῦ τοῦ πατρός σου.

καὶ ἐβοήθησέν σοι ὁ θεὸς ὁ ἐμός,

καὶ εὐλόγησέν σε εὐλογίαν οὐρανοῦ ἄνωθεν,

καὶ εὐλογίαν γῆς ἐχούσης πάντα·

ἕνεκεν εὐλογίας μαστῶν καὶ μήτρας,

εὐλογίας πατρός σου καὶ μητρός σου·

⁶⁷

ὐπερίσχυσεν ἐπ᾿ εὐλοίαις ὀρέων μονίμων,

⁸

καὶ ἐπ᾿ εἰλογίαις θεινῶν ἀενάων·

ἔσονται ἐπὶ κορυφῆς ὧν ἡγήσατο ἀδελφῶν.

Βενιαμεὶν λύκος ἅρπαξ·

τὸ πρωινὸν ἔδεται ἔτι,

καὶ εἰς τὸ ἑσπέρας δίδωσιν τροφήν.

Πάωτες οὗτοι υἱοὶ Ἰακὼβ δώδεκα, καὶ ταῦτα ἐλάλησεν αὐτοῖς ὁ αὐτῶν· καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτοὺς ὁ πατήρ, ἕκαστον κατὰ τὴν εὐλο-
γίαν αὐτοῦ εἰλόγησεν αὐτούς.

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἐγὼ προστίθεμαι πρὸς τὸν ἐμὸν λαόν· θάψατέ με μετὰ τῶν πατέρων μου ἐν τῷ σπηλαίῳ
ὅ ἐστιν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ Ἐφρὼν τοῦ Χετταίου,

ἐν τῷ σπηλαίῳ τῷ διπλῷ τῷ ἀπέναντι Μαμβρὴ ἐν γῇ Χανάαν, ὃ ἐκτήσατο Ἀβραὰμ τὸ σπήλαιον
παρὰ Ἐφρὼν τοῦ Χετταίου ἐν κτήσει μνημείου.

ἐκεῖ ἔθαψαν Αβραὰμ καὶ Σάρραν τὴν γυναὶκα αὐτοὺ· ἐκεὶ ἕκαστον κατὰ καὶ Ῥε-
βέκκαν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ·

ἐκεῖ ἔθαψαν Λείαν, ἢν κτήσει τοῦ ἀγροῦ
καὶ τοῦ σπηλαίου τοῦ ὄντος ἐν αὐτῷ παρὰ τῶν υἱῶν Χέτ.

Καὶ κατέπαυσεν Ἰακὼβ ἐπιτάσσων τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξάρας τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν κλίνην ἐξέλιπεν καὶ προσετέθη πρὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ. L

Genesis Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 49 focus

Jacob called to his sons, and said: Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which will happen to you in the days to come.

Assemble yourselves, and hear, you sons of Jacob; Listen to Israel , your father.

Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength; The pre-eminence of dignity, and the pre-eminence of power.

Boiling over as water, you shall not have the pre-eminence; Because you went up to your father’s bed; Then defiled it. He went up to my couch.

Simeon and Levi are brothers; Weapons of violence are their swords.

My soul, don’t come into their council; My glory, don’t be united to their assembly; For in their anger they killed a man, In their self-will they hamstrung an ox.

Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; Their wrath, for it was cruel. I will divide them in Jacob, Scatter them in Israel .

Judah , your brothers will praise you: Your hand will be on the neck of your enemies; Your father’s sons will bow down before you.

Judah is a lion’s whelp. From the prey, my son, you have gone up. He stooped down, he couched as a lion, As a lioness. Who will rouse him up?

The scepter will not depart from Judah, Nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, Until Shiloh comes. To him will the obedience of the peoples be.

Binding his foal to the vine, His donkey’s colt to the choice vine; He has washed his garments in wine, His robes in the blood of grapes:

His eyes will be red with wine, His teeth white with milk.

Zebulun will dwell at the haven of the sea. He will be for a haven of ships. His border will be on Sidon .

Issachar is a strong donkey, Couching down between the sheepfolds.

He saw a resting-place, that it was good, The land, that it was pleasant; He bowed his shoulder to bear, And became a servant doing forced labor.

Dan will judge his people, As one of the tribes of Israel .

Dan will be a serpent in the way, An adder in the path, That bites the horse’s heels, So that his rider falls backward.

I have waited for your salvation, Yahweh.

Gad, a troop will press on him; But he will press on their heel.

Out of Asher his bread will be fat, He will yield royal dainties.

Naphtali is a doe set free, Who bears beautiful fawns.

Joseph is a fruitful bough, A fruitful bough by a spring; His branches run over the wall.

The archers have sorely grieved him, Shot at him, and persecute him:

But his bow abode in strength, The arms of his hands were made strong, By the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, (From there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel ),

Even by the God of your father, who will help you, By the Almighty, who will bless you, With blessings of heaven above, Blessings of the deep that couches beneath, Blessings of the breasts, and of the womb.

The blessings of your father Have prevailed above the blessings of the ancient mountains, Than the bounty of the age-old hills. They will be on the head of Joseph, On the crown of the head of him who is separated from his brothers.

Benjamin is a ravenous wolf. In the morning she will devour the prey. At evening he will divide the spoil.

All these are the twelve tribes of Israel , and this is what their father spoke to them and blessed them. He blessed everyone according to his blessing.

He charged them, and said to them, I am to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,

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 from Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a burying-place.

There they buried Abraham and Sarah, his wife. There they buried Isaac and Rebekah, his wife, and there I buried Leah:

the field and the cave that is therein, which was purchased from the children of Heth.

When Jacob made an end of charging his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the spirit, and was gathered to his people.
