Genesis 49:27-32 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

27. Benjamin is a ravenous wolf, in the morning he will eat the prey, and in the evening he will divide the spoil."

28. All these are the twelve tribes of Israel. These things their father spoke to them, and he blessed each one with their proper blessings.

29. And he instructed them, saying: "I am being gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the double cave, which is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,

30. opposite Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought, along with its field, from Ephron the Hittite, as a possession for burial.

31. There they buried him, with his wife Sarah." And there Isaac was buried with his wife Rebekah. There also Leah lies preserved.

32. And having finished these commands by which he instructed his sons, he drew his feet onto the bed, and he passed away. And he was gathered to his people.
