1 Εκαλεσε δε ο Ιακωβ τους υιους αυτου και ειπε, Συναχθητε, δια να σας αναγγειλω τι μελλει να συμβη εις εσας εν ταις εσχαταις ημεραις·

2 συναχθητε και ακουσατε, υιοι του Ιακωβ, και ακροασθητε τον Ισραηλ τον πατερα σας.

3 Ρουβην ο πρωτοτοκος μου, συ ισχυς μου και αρχη των δυναμεων μου, εξοχος κατα την αξιαν και εξοχος κατα την δυναμιν.

4 Εξεβρασας ως υδωρ· δεν θελεις εχει την υπεροχην· διοτι ανεβης επι την κλινην του πατρος σου· τοτε εμιανας αυτην· επι την κλινην μου ανεβη.

5 Συμεων και Λευι οι αδελφοι, οργανα αδικιας ειναι αι μαχαιραι αυτων·

6 εις την βουλην αυτων μη εισελθης, ψυχη μου· εις την συνελευσιν αυτων μη ενωθης, τιμη μου· διοτι εν τω θυμω αυτων εφονευσαν ανθρωπους και εν τω πεισματι αυτων κατηδαφισαν τειχος.

7 Επικαταρατος ο θυμος αυτων, διοτι ητο αυθαδης· και η οργη αυτων, διοτι ητο σκληρα· θελω διαμοιρασει αυτους εις τον Ιακωβ, και θελω διασκορπισει αυτους εις τον Ισραηλ.

8 Ιουδα, σε θελουσι επαινεσει οι αδελφοι σου· η χειρ σου θελει εισθαι επι τον τραχηλον των εχθρων σου· οι υιοι του πατρος σου θελουσι σε προσκυνησει·

9 σκυμνος λεοντος ειναι ο Ιουδας· εκ του θηρευματος, υιε μου, ανεβης· αναπεσων εκοιμηθη ως λεων και ως σκυμνος λεοντος· τις θελει εγειρει αυτον;

10 Δεν θελει εκλειψει το σκηπτρον εκ του Ιουδα ουδε νομοθετης εκ μεσου των ποδων αυτου, εωσου ελθη ο Σηλω· και εις αυτον θελει εισθαι η υπακοη των λαων.

11 Εις την αμπελον δενει το πωλαριον αυτου, και εις τον εκλεκτον βλαστον το παιδιον της ονου αυτου· θελει πλυνει εν οινω το ενδυμα αυτου και εν τω αιματι της σταφυλης το περιβολαιον αυτου·

12 Οι οφθαλμοι αυτου θελουσιν εισθαι ερυθροι εκ του οινου και οι οδοντες αυτου λευκοι εκ του γαλακτος.

13 Ο Ζαβουλων θελει κατοικησει εν λιμενι θαλασσης και θελει εισθαι εν λιμενι πλοιων· το δε οριον αυτου θελει εκταθη εως Σιδωνος.

14 Ο Ισσαχαρ ειναι ονος δυνατος, κοιτωμενος εν τω μεσω των επαυλεων·

15 Και ιδων οτι η αναπαυσις ητο καλη και ο τοπος τερπνος, εκλινε τον ωμον αυτου εις φορτιον και εγεινε δουλος υποτελης.

16 Ο Δαν θελει κρινει τον λαον αυτου, ως μια εκ των φυλων του Ισραηλ·

17 Ο Δαν θελει εισθαι οφις επι της οδου, ασπις επι της τριβου, δακνων τας πτερνας του ιππου, ωστε ο ιππευς αυτου θελει πιπτει εις τα οπισω.

18 Την σωτηριαν σου περιεμεινα, Κυριε.

19 Τον Γαδ θελουσι πειρατευσει πειραται· πλην και αυτος εις το τελος θελει πειρατευσει.

20 Του Ασηρ ο αρτος θελει εισθαι παχυς· και αυτος θελει διδει βασιλικας τρυφας.

21 Ο Νεφθαλι ειναι ελαφος απολελυμενη, διδων λογους αρεστους.

22 Ο Ιωσηφ, κλαδος καρποφορος, κλαδος καρποφορος πλησιον πηγης, του οποιου οι βλαστοι εκτεινονται επι του τοιχου·

23 Οι τοξοται επικραναν αυτον και ετοξευσαν κατ' αυτου, και εχθρευθησαν αυτον.

24 Αλλα το τοξον αυτου εμεινε δυνατον και οι βραχιονες των χειρων αυτου ενεδυναμωθησαν δια των χειρων του ισχυρου Θεου του Ιακωβ· εκειθεν ο ποιμην, η πετρα του Ισραηλ·

25 και τουτο δια του Θεου του πατρος σου, οστις θελει σε βοηθει, και δια του Παντοδυναμου, οστις θελει σε ευλογει, ευλογιας του ουρανου ανωθεν, ευλογιας της αβυσσου κατωθεν, ευλογιας των μαστων και της μητρας·

26 Αι ευλογιαι του πατρος σου υπερισχυσαν υπερ τας ευλογιας των προγονων μου εως των υψηλων κορυφων των αιωνιων ορεων· θελουσιν εισθαι επι της κεφαλης του Ιωσηφ και επι της κορυφης του εκλεκτου μεταξυ των αδελφων αυτου.

27 Ο Βενιαμιν θελει εισθαι λυκος αρπαξ· το πρωι θελει κατατρωγει θηραμα, και το εσπερας θελει διαιρει λαφυρα.

28 Παντες ουτοι ειναι αι δωδεκα φυλαι του Ισραηλ, και τουτο ειναι το οποιον ελαλησε προς αυτους ο πατηρ αυτων και ευλογησεν αυτους· εκαστον κατα την ευλογιαν αυτου ευλογησεν αυτους.

29 Και παρηγγειλεν εις αυτους και ειπε προς αυτους, Εγω προστιθεμαι εις τον λαον μου· θαψατε με μετα των πατερων μου εν τω σπηλαιω τω εν τω αγρω Εφρων του Χετταιου·

30 εν τω σπηλαιω τω εν τω αγρω Μαχπελαχ τω απεναντι της Μαμβρη εν τη γη Χανααν, το οποιον ο Αβρααμ ηγορασε μετα του αγρου παρα του Εφρων του Χετταιου δια κτημα μνημειου·

31 εκει εθαψαν τον Αβρααμ και την Σαρραν την γυναικα αυτου· εκει εθαψαν τον Ισαακ και την Ρεβεκκαν την γυναικα αυτου· και εκει εθαψα εγω την Λειαν·

32 η αγορα του αγρου και του σπηλαιου του εν αυτω εγεινε παρα των υιων του Χετ.

33 Και αφου ετελειωσεν ο Ιακωβ παραγγελλων εις τους υιους αυτου, εσυρε τους ποδας αυτου επι την κλινην και εξεπνευσε· και προσετεθη εις τον λαον αυτου.

4007. 'Every one that had white in it' means that which has truth in it. This is clear from the meaning of 'white' as truth, but strictly speaking as the Lord's Righteousness and Merit, and from this the Lord's righteousness and merit as these exist with man, dealt with in 3301, 3993. 'White' has that meaning because the light of heaven which radiates from the Lord, a light which is the source of splendour and brightness, means truth. Anything therefore on which that light falls and is made splendid and bright is that which is called the Lord's righteousness and merit existing with man. Those who acknowledge this, the Lord's righteousness, and who from good take it to themselves and reject their own, are specifically the ones meant by 'the righteous' whom the Lord refers to, in Matthew,

The righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Matthew 13:43.

[2] The fact that that which is 'white', being splendid and bright, has this meaning is also evident from other places in the Word, as in Moses,

His eyes will be redder than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk. Genesis 49:12.

This refers to Judah, who represents the Lord as regards the Divinity of His Love, and in the internal sense the celestial kingdom, and so the celestial man, see 3881. 'Eyes redder than wine' means Divine Wisdom, and 'teeth whiter than milk' means Righteousness. In David,

You will purify me with hyssop and I shall be clean; You will wash me, and I shall become whiter than snow. Psalms 51:7.

'Washing and becoming whiter than snow' stands for being purified from sins by means of receiving and putting on the Lord's righteousness. In John,

In the midst of the seven lampstands one like the Son of Man. His head and hair were white, like white wool, like snow; and his eyes were like a flame of fire. Revelation 1:13-14.

[3] In the same book,

You have a few names in Sardis, who have not soiled their garments, and they will walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. He who conquers will be clad in white garments. Revelation 3:4-5.

In the same book,

I counsel you to buy from Me gold purified in fire, that you may be rich, and white garments to clothe you. Revelation 3:18.

In the same book,

To each soul under the altar were given white robes. Revelation 6:9, 11.

In the same book,

I saw, standing before the throne and before the Lamb those clothed in white robes. One of the elders said to me, These clothed in white robes - who are they, and where have they come from? I said to him, Sir, you know. He said to me, These are they who are coming out of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and have made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb. Revelation 7:9, 13-14.

In the same book,

The angels were clothed in linen, white and splendid, and were girded around their breasts with golden girdles. Revelation 15:6.

In the same book,

I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; to him a crown was given. Revelation 6:2.

And elsewhere,

After this I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. His armies in heaven were following Him on white horses and were clothed in linen white and clean. Revelation 19:11, 14.

[4] In all these places 'white' means the truth of faith; 'white garments' and 'white robes' have no other meaning. But the truth of faith does not exist with any who believe that they have faith of themselves and so believe that they are wise of themselves. Rather, it exists with those who believe that their faith and wisdom come from the Lord, for faith and wisdom are imparted to them because they do not ascribe any truth or good at all to themselves. Even less do they believe that they possess any merit through the truths and goods residing with them, and less still any righteousness, but only by ascribing these to the Lord, and so everything to His grace and mercy. This is what 'putting on white garments' means, and also what 'being made white in the blood of the Lamb' means. There are two things which all who enter heaven cast aside, namely their proprium and consequent confidence, and merit that is their own or self-righteousness. Then they assume a heavenly proprium which comes from the Lord, and the Lord's merit or righteousness. And to the extent that these are so assumed those persons advance further into heaven. These two things specifically are meant by 'red' and by 'white'; 'red' means the good of love and is present with those people at that time, 'white' the truth of faith.
