New Testament

Genesis 49:7-13 New English Translation (NET)

7. Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce,and their fury, for it was cruel.I will divide them in Jacob,and scatter them in Israel!

8. 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.

9. You are a lion’s cub, Judah,from the prey, my son, you have gone up.He crouches and lies down like a lion;like a lioness – who will rouse him?

10. The scepter will not depart from Judah,nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,until he comes to whom it belongs;the nations will obey him.

11. Binding his foal to the vine,and his colt to the choicest vine,he will wash his garments in wine,his robes in the blood of grapes.

12. His eyes will be dark from wine,and his teeth white from milk.

13. Zebulun will live by the haven of the seaand become a haven for ships;his border will extend to Sidon.
