Genesis 49:12 in context

Genesis 49:9–15

9

Judah is a lion’s cub.

From the prey, my son, you have gone up.

He stooped down, he crouched as a lion,

as a lioness.

Who will rouse him up?

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 obedience of the peoples will be to him.

11

Binding his foal to the vine,

his donkey’s colt to the choice vine,

he has washed his garments in wine,

his robes in the blood of grapes.

12
Selected verse

His eyes will be red with wine,

his teeth white with milk.

13

“Zebulun will dwell at the haven of the sea.

He will be for a haven of ships.

His border will be on Sidon.

14

“Issachar is a strong donkey,

lying down between the saddlebags.

15

He saw a resting place, that it was good,

the land, that it was pleasant.

He bows his shoulder to the burden,

and becomes a servant doing forced labor.
