They serve as a warning sign.The sons of Korah, however, did not die.)

Jacob resumed his journey and went to the eastern country.He looked and saw a well in a field. Three flocks of sheep were lying there beside it because the sheep were watered from this well. But a large stone covered the opening of the well.The shepherds would roll the stone from the opening of the well and water the sheep when all the flocks were gathered there. Then they would return the stone to its place over the well’s opening.Jacob asked the men at the well,“ My brothers! Where are you from?”“ We’re from Haran,” they answered.“ Do you know Laban, Nahor’s grandson?” Jacob asked them. They answered,“ We know him.”“ Is he well?” Jacob asked.“ Yes,” they said,“ and here is his daughter Rachel, coming with his sheep.”Then Jacob said,“ Look, it is still broad daylight. It’s not time for the animals to be gathered. Water the flock, then go out and let them graze.”But they replied,“ We can’t until all the flocks have been gathered and the stone is rolled from the well’s opening. Then we will water the sheep.”While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherdess.As soon as Jacob saw his uncle Laban’s daughter Rachel with his sheep, he went up and rolled the stone from the opening and watered his uncle Laban’s sheep.Then Jacob kissed Rachel and wept loudly.He told Rachel that he was her father’s relative, Rebekah’s son. She ran and told her father.When Laban heard the news about his sister’s son Jacob, he ran to meet him, hugged him, and kissed him. Then he took him to his house, and Jacob told him all that had happened.Laban said to him,“ Yes, you are my own flesh and blood.” After Jacob had stayed with him a month,Laban said to him,“ Just because you’re my relative, should you work for me for nothing? Tell me what your wages should be.”Now Laban had two daughters: the older was named Leah, and the younger was named Rachel.Leah had tender eyes, but Rachel was shapely and beautiful.Jacob loved Rachel, so he answered Laban,“ I’ll work for you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.”Laban replied,“ Better that I give her to you than to some other man. Stay with me.”So Jacob worked seven years for Rachel, and they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her.Then Jacob said to Laban,“ Since my time is complete, give me my wife, so I can sleep with her.”So Laban invited all the men of the place and sponsored a feast.That evening, Laban took his daughter Leah and gave her to Jacob, and he slept with her.And Laban gave his slave Zilpah to his daughter Leah as her slave.When morning came, there was Leah! So he said to Laban,“ What have you done to me? Wasn’t it for Rachel that I worked for you? Why have you deceived me?”Laban answered,“ It is not the custom in our country to give the younger daughter in marriage before the firstborn.Complete this week of wedding celebration, and we will also give you this younger one in return for working yet another seven years for me.”And Jacob did just that. He finished the week of celebration, and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel as his wife.And Laban gave his slave Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her slave.Jacob slept with Rachel also, and indeed, he loved Rachel more than Leah. And he worked for Laban another seven years.

Then Jacob called his sons and said,“ Gather around, and I will tell you what will happen to you in the days to come.Come together and listen, sons of Jacob; listen to your father Israel:Reuben, you are my firstborn, my strength and the firstfruits of my virility, excelling in prominence, excelling in power.Turbulent as water, you will not 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.Dan will be a snake by the road, a viper beside the path, that bites the horse’s 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 ancient hills. May they rest on the head of Joseph, on the brow 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, twelve in all, and this is what their father said to them. He blessed them, and he blessed each one with a suitable blessing.Then he commanded them,“ I am about to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my ancestors in the cave in the field of Ephron the Hethite.The cave is in the field of Machpelah near Mamre, in the land of Canaan. This is the field Abraham purchased from Ephron the Hethite as burial property.Abraham and his wife Sarah are buried there, Isaac and his wife Rebekah are buried there, and I buried Leah there.The field and the cave in it were purchased from the Hethites.”When Jacob had finished giving charges to his sons, he drew his feet into the bed, took his last breath, and was gathered to his people.
