TKJU(i)
3 Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:
4 Unstable as water, you shall not excel; because you went up to your father's bed; then you defiled it: He went up to my couch.
5 Simeon and Levi are brothers; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.
6 O my soul, do not come into their secret counsel; to their assembly, my honor, do not be united with them: For in their anger they slew a man, and in their self-will they dug beneath and undermined a wall.
7 Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
8 Judah, you are he whom your brothers shall praise: Your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies; your father's children shall bow down before you.
9 Judah is a lion's whelp: From the prey, my son, you have gone up: He stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes; and the gathering of the people shall be to Him.Shiloh is a by-name for The Messiah
11 Binding His foal to the vine, and His donkey's colt to the choice vine; He washed His garments in wine, and His clothes in the blood of grapes:
12 His eyes shall be red with wine, and His teeth white with milk.
13 Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for a haven of ships; and his border shall be to Zidon.
14 Issachar is a strong donkey couching down between two burdens:
15 And he saw that rest was good, and that the land was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear a burden, and became a servant to obligated tribute.
16 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
17 Dan shall be a serpent by the pathway, an adder in the path, that bites the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
18 I have waited for Your salvation, O LORD.
19 Gad, a troop shall overcome him: But he shall overcome at the end.
20 Out of Asher his bread shall be plenteous, and he shall yield royal dainties.
21 Naphtali is a hind let loose: He gives goodly words.
22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:
23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from there comes the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel):
25 Even by the God of your father, Who shall help you; and by the Almighty, Who shall bless you with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies below, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
26 The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: They shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brothers.
27 Benjamin shall tear in pieces as a wolf: In the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil."
