1 Mose 49 3-1 Mose 49 27
“ Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, the first sign of my strength, excelling in honor, excelling in power.Turbulent as the waters, you will no longer excel, for you went up onto your father’s bed, onto my couch and defiled it.“ Simeon and Levi are brothers— their swords are weapons of violence.Let me not enter their council, let me not join their assembly, for they have killed men in their anger and hamstrung oxen as they pleased.Cursed be their anger, so fierce, and their fury, so cruel! I will scatter them in Jacob and disperse them in Israel.“ Judah, your brothers will praise you; your hand will be on the neck of your enemies; your father’s sons will bow down to you.You are a lion’s cub, Judah; you return from the prey, my son. Like a lion he crouches and lies down, like a lioness— who dares to rouse him?The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he to whom it belongs shall come and the obedience of the nations shall be his.He will tether his donkey to a vine, his colt to the choicest branch; he will wash his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes.His eyes will be darker than wine, his teeth whiter than milk.“ Zebulun will live by the seashore and become a haven for ships; his border will extend toward Sidon.“ Issachar is a rawboned donkey lying down among the sheep pens.When he sees how good is his resting place and how pleasant is his land, he will bend his shoulder to the burden and submit to forced labor.“ Dan will provide justice for his people as one of the tribes of Israel.Dan will be a snake by the roadside, a viper along the path, that bites the horse’s heels so that its rider tumbles backward.“ I look for your deliverance, Lord.“ Gad will be attacked by a band of raiders, but he will attack them at their heels.“ Asher’s food will be rich; he will provide delicacies fit for a king.“ Naphtali is a doe set free that bears beautiful fawns.“ Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine near a spring, whose branches climb over a wall.With bitterness archers attacked him; they shot at him with hostility.But his bow remained steady, his strong arms stayed limber, because of the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,because of your father’s God, who helps you, because of the Almighty, who blesses you with blessings of the skies above, blessings of the deep springs below, blessings of the breast and womb.Your father’s blessings are greater than the blessings of the ancient mountains, than the bounty of the age-old hills. Let all these rest on the head of Joseph, on the brow of the prince among his brothers.“ Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; in the morning he devours the prey, in the evening he divides the plunder.” (niv)

When the Lord saw that Leah was not loved, he enabled her to conceive, but Rachel remained childless.Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben, for she said,“ It is because the Lord has seen my misery. Surely my husband will love me now.”She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said,“ Because the Lord heard that I am not loved, he gave me this one too.” So she named him Simeon.Again she conceived, and when she gave birth to a son she said,“ Now at last my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” So he was named Levi.She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said,“ This time I will praise the Lord.” So she named him Judah. Then she stopped having children.When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, she became jealous of her sister. So she said to Jacob,“ Give me children, or I’ll die!”Jacob became angry with her and said,“ Am I in the place of God, who has kept you from having children?”Then she said,“ Here is Bilhah, my servant. Sleep with her so that she can bear children for me and I too can build a family through her.”So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife. Jacob slept with her,and she became pregnant and bore him a son.Then Rachel said,“ God has vindicated me; he has listened to my plea and given me a son.” Because of this she named him Dan.Rachel’s servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.Then Rachel said,“ I have had a great struggle with my sister, and I have won.” So she named him Naphtali.When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she took her servant Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife.Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a son.Then Leah said,“ What good fortune!” So she named him Gad.Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a second son.Then Leah said,“ How happy I am! The women will call me happy.” So she named him Asher.During wheat harvest, Reuben went out into the fields and found some mandrake plants, which he brought to his mother Leah. Rachel said to Leah,“ Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”But she said to her,“ Wasn’t it enough that you took away my husband? Will you take my son’s mandrakes too?”“ Very well,” Rachel said,“ he can sleep with you tonight in return for your son’s mandrakes.”So when Jacob came in from the fields that evening, Leah went out to meet him.“ You must sleep with me,” she said.“ I have hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” So he slept with her that night.God listened to Leah, and she became pregnant and bore Jacob a fifth son.Then Leah said,“ God has rewarded me for giving my servant to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.Leah conceived again and bore Jacob a sixth son.Then Leah said,“ God has presented me with a precious gift. This time my husband will treat me with honor, because I have borne him six sons.” So she named him Zebulun.Some time later she gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah. (niv)
