Jacob cslleth his sons to bIess them }
Their blessing in particular , He chAseth
them about his burial 3 He dieth.
And Jacob called unto his sons,
and said. Gather yourselves to-
gether. that may tell you that
which shall befaIl you in the last
days.
? Gather yourselves together.
and hear. We sons OF Jacob: and
hearken unto Israel your father.
Reuben, thou art my first
born. my might, and the beginning
of my strength. the excellency of
dignity. and the excellency of
power:
Unstable as water. thou shalt
not excel: because thou wentest up
to thy fathers bed; then defiledst
thou it: he went up to my couch.
Simeon and Levi are breth-
rem; instruments of cruelty are in
their habitations.
o my soul. come not thou into
their secret: unto their assembly,
mine honour. be not thou united:
for In their anger they slew a man.
and in their selfwill they digged
down a wall.
Cursed be their anger, for it
was fierce: and their wrath. for II
was cruel: / will divide them in
Jacob, and scatter them in Israel
S Judah. thou art he whom thy
brethren shall praise: thy hand
shall be in the mex of thine enemies:
thy fathers children shall bow down
before thee.
. Judah is a lions whelp: from
the prey. my son. thou art gone
up: he stopped down. he crouched
as lion. and as an old lion; who
shall rouse him up?
