12,000 sealed from the tribe of Judah, 12,000 from the tribe of Reuben, 12,000 from the tribe of Gad,12,000 from the tribe of Asher, 12,000 from the tribe of Naphtali, 12,000 from the tribe of Manasseh,12,000 from the tribe of Simeon, 12,000 from the tribe of Levi, 12,000 from the tribe of Issachar,12,000 from the tribe of Zebulun, 12,000 from the tribe of Joseph, 12,000 sealed from the tribe of Benjamin.

“ Your name will no longer be Jacob,” He said.“ It will be Israel because you have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed.”

Leah conceived, gave birth to a son, and named him Reuben, for she said,“ The Lord has seen my affliction; surely my husband will love me now.”She conceived again, gave birth to a son, and said,“ The Lord heard that I am unloved and has given me this son also.” So she named him Simeon.She conceived again, gave birth to a son, and said,“ At last, my husband will become attached to me because I have borne three sons for him.” Therefore he was named Levi.And she conceived again, gave birth to a son, and said,“ This time I will praise the Lord.” Therefore she named him Judah. Then Leah stopped having children.

Turbulent as water, you will no longer excel, because you got into your father’s bed and you defiled it— he got into my bed.Simeon and Levi are brothers; their knives are vicious weapons.May I never enter their council; may I never join their assembly. For in their anger they kill men, and on a whim they hamstring oxen.Their anger is cursed, for it is strong, and their fury, for it is cruel! I will disperse them throughout Jacob and scatter them throughout Israel.Judah, your brothers will praise you. Your hand will be on the necks of your enemies; your father’s sons will bow down to you.Judah is a young lion— my son, you return from the kill. He crouches; he lies down like a lion or a lioness— who dares to rouse him?The scepter will not depart from Judah or the staff from between his feet until He whose right it is comes and the obedience of the peoples belongs to Him.He ties his donkey to a vine, and the colt of his donkey to the choice vine. He washes his clothes in wine and his robes in the blood of grapes.His eyes are darker than wine, and his teeth are whiter than milk.Zebulun will live by the seashore and will be a harbor for ships, and his territory will be next to Sidon.Issachar is a strong donkey lying down between the saddlebags.He saw that his resting place was good and that the land was pleasant, so he leaned his shoulder to bear a load and became a forced laborer.Dan will judge his people as one of the tribes of Israel.He will be a snake by the road, a viper beside the path, that bites the horses’ heels so that its rider falls backward.I wait for Your salvation, Lord.Gad will be attacked by raiders, but he will attack their heels.Asher’s food will be rich, and he will produce royal delicacies.Naphtali is a doe set free that bears beautiful fawns.Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine beside a spring; its branches climb over the wall.The archers attacked him, shot at him, and were hostile toward him.Yet his bow remained steady, and his strong arms were made agile by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, by the name of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,by the God of your father who helps you, and by the Almighty who blesses you with blessings of the heavens above, blessings of the deep that lies below, and blessings of the breasts and the womb.The blessings of your father excel the blessings of my ancestors and the bounty of the eternal hills. May they rest on the head of Joseph, on the crown of the prince of his brothers.Benjamin is a wolf; he tears his prey. In the morning he devours the prey, and in the evening he divides the plunder.”These are the tribes of Israel, 12 in all, and this was what their father said to them. He blessed them, and he blessed each one with a suitable blessing.
