4 H6349 Unstable H4325 as water H3498 , thou shalt not excel [H8686] H5927 ; because thou wentest up [H8804] H1 to thy father's H4904 bed H2490 ; then defiledst thou [H8765] H5927 it : he went up [H8804] H3326 to my couch.

5 H8095 Simeon H3878 and Levi H251 are brethren H3627 ; instruments H2555 of cruelty H4380 are in their habitations.

6 H5315 O my soul H935 , come [H8799] H5475 not thou into their secret H6951 ; unto their assembly H3519 , mine honour H3161 , be not thou united [H8799] H639 : for in their anger H2026 they slew [H8804] H376 a man H7522 , and in their selfwill H6131 they digged down [H8765] H7794 a wall.

7 H779 Cursed [H8803] H639 be their anger H5794 , for it was fierce H5678 ; and their wrath H7185 , for it was cruel [H8804] H2505 : I will divide [H8762] H3290 them in Jacob H6327 , and scatter [H8686] H3478 them in Israel.

8 H3063 Judah H251 , thou art he whom thy brethren H3034 shall praise [H8686] H3027 : thy hand H6203 shall be in the neck H341 of thine enemies [H8802] H1 ; thy father's H1121 children H7812 shall bow down [H8691] before thee.

9 H3063 Judah H738 is a lion's H1482 whelp H2964 : from the prey H1121 , my son H5927 , thou art gone up [H8804] H3766 : he stooped down [H8804] H7257 , he couched [H8804] H738 as a lion H3833 , and as an old lion H6965 ; who shall rouse him up [H8686] ?

10 H7626 The sceptre H5493 shall not depart [H8799] H3063 from Judah H2710 , nor a lawgiver [H8781] H7272 from between his feet H3588 , until H7886 Shiloh H935 come [H8799] H3349 ; and unto him shall the gathering H5971 of the people be .

11 H631 Binding [H8802] H5895 his foal H1612 unto the vine H860 , and his ass's H1121 colt H8321 unto the choice vine H3526 ; he washed [H8765] H3830 his garments H3196 in wine H5497 , and his clothes H1818 in the blood H6025 of grapes:

12 H5869 His eyes H2447 shall be red H3196 with wine H8127 , and his teeth H3836 white H2461 with milk.

13 H2074 Zebulun H7931 shall dwell [H8799] H2348 at the haven H3220 of the sea H2348 ; and he shall be for an haven H591 of ships H3411 ; and his border H6721 shall be unto Zidon.

14 H3485 Issachar H1634 is a strong H2543 ass H7257 couching down [H8802] H4942 between two burdens:

15 H7200 And he saw [H8799] H4496 that rest H2896 was good H776 , and the land H5276 that it was pleasant [H8804] H5186 ; and bowed [H8799] H7926 his shoulder H5445 to bear [H8800] H5647 , and became a servant [H8802] H4522 unto tribute.

16 H1835 Dan H1777 shall judge [H8799] H5971 his people H259 , as one H7626 of the tribes H3478 of Israel.

17 H1835 Dan H5175 shall be a serpent H1870 by the way H8207 , an adder H734 in the path H5391 , that biteth [H8802] H5483 the horse H6119 heels H7392 , so that his rider [H8802] H5307 shall fall [H8799] H268 backward.

18 H6960 I have waited for [H8765] H3444 thy salvation H3068 , O LORD.

19 H1410 Gad H1416 , a troop H1464 shall overcome [H8799] H1464 him: but he shall overcome [H8799] H6119 at the last.

20 H836 Out of Asher H3899 his bread H8082 shall be fat H5414 , and he shall yield [H8799] H4428 royal H4574 dainties.

21 H5321 Naphtali H355 is a hind H7971 let loose [H8803] H5414 : he giveth [H8802] H8233 goodly H561 words.

22 H3130 Joseph H6509 is a fruitful [H8802] H1121 bough H6509 , even a fruitful [H8802] H1121 bough H5869 by a well H1323 ; whose branches H6805 run [H8804] H7791 over the wall:

23 H1167 The archers H2671 H4843 have sorely grieved him [H8762] H7232 , and shot [H8804] H7852 at him, and hated him [H8799] :

24 H7198 But his bow H3427 abode [H8799] H386 in strength H2220 , and the arms H3027 of his hands H6339 were made strong [H8799] H3027 by the hands H46 of the mighty H3290 God of Jacob H7462 ; (from thence is the shepherd [H8802] H68 , the stone H3478 of Israel:)

25 H410 Even by the God H1 of thy father H5826 , who shall help [H8799] H854 thee; and by H7706 the Almighty H1288 , who shall bless [H8762] H1293 thee with blessings H8064 of heaven H5920 above H1293 , blessings H8415 of the deep H7257 that lieth [H8802] H1293 under, blessings H7699 of the breasts H7356 , and of the womb:

26 H1293 The blessings H1 of thy father H1396 have prevailed [H8804] H1293 above the blessings H2029 of my progenitors [H8802] H8379 unto the utmost bound H5769 of the everlasting H1389 hills H7218 : they shall be on the head H3130 of Joseph H6936 , and on the crown of the head H5139 of him that was separate H251 from his brethren.

27 H1144 Benjamin H2963 shall ravin [H8799] H2061 as a wolf H1242 : in the morning H398 he shall devour [H8799] H5706 the prey H6153 , and at night H2505 he shall divide [H8762] H7998 the spoil.
