1 És szólítá Jákób az õ fiait, és monda: Gyûljetek egybe, hadd jelentsem meg néktek, a mi rátok következik a messze jövõben.

2 Gyûljetek össze s hallgassatok Jákóbnak fiai! hallgassatok Izráelre, a ti atyátokra.

3 Rúben, te elsõszülöttem, erõm, tehetségem zsengéje, elsõ a méltóságban, elsõ a hatalomban.

4 Állhatatlan, mint a víz, nem leszesz elsõ, mivel atyád ágyába léptél fel: akkor megfertõztetted! Nyoszolyámba lépett õ.

5 Simeon és Lévi atyafiak, erõszak eszközei az õ fegyverök.

6 Tanácsukban ne légyen részes lelkem, gyûlésükkel ne egyesûljön dicsõségem, mert haragjokban férfit öltek, s kedvök telve inát szegték az ökörnek.

7 Átkozott haragjok, mert erõszakos, és dühök, mivel kegyetlen; eloszlatom õket Jákóbban, és elszélesztem Izráelben.

8 Júda! téged magasztalnak atyádfiai, kezed ellenségeidnek nyakán lesz s meghajolnak elõtted atyáidnak fiai.

9 Oroszlánkölyök Júda; zsákmányt ejtvén, felmentél, fiam! Lehevert, lenyúgodott, mint a hím oroszlán, és mint nõstény oroszlán; ki veri õt fel?

10 Nem múlik el Júdától a fejedelmi bot, sem a vezéri pálcza térdei közûl; míg eljõ Siló, és a népek néki engednek.

11 Szõlõtõhöz köti szamarát, és nemes venyigéhez szamara vemhét, ruháját borban mossa, felöltõjét a szõlõ vérében.

12 Bortól veresek szemei, tejtõl fehérek fogai.

13 Zebulon a tenger partjáig lakozik, azaz a hajók kikötõjéig s határának széle Czídonig ér.

14 Izsakhár erõs csontú szamár, a karámok közt heverész.

15 S látja, hogy a nyugalom és hogy a föld mily kies: teher alá hajtja hátát, s robotoló szolgává lesz.

16 Dán ítéli az õ népét, mint Izráel akármelyik nemzetsége.

17 Dán kígyó lesz az úton, szarvaskígyó az ösvényen, mely a körmébe harap, hogy lovagja hanyatt esik.

18 Szabadításodra várok Uram!

19 Gád! had háborgatja; majd õ hág annak sarkába.

20 Ásernek kenyere kövér, királyi csemegét szolgáltat.

21 Nafthali, gyorslábú szarvas, az õ beszéde kedves.

22 Termékeny fa József, termõ ág a forrás mellett, ágazata meghaladja a kõfalat.

23 Keserítik, lövöldözik és üldözik a nyilazók:

24 De mereven marad kézíve, feszülten keze karjai, Jákób Hatalmasának kezétõl, onnan, Izráel pásztorától, kõsziklájától.

25 Atyád Istenétõl, a ki segéljen; a mindenhatótól, a ki megáldjon, az ég áldásaival, onnan felülrõl, a mélység áldásaival, mely alant terül, az emlõk és anyaméh áldásaival.

26 Atyád áldásai meghaladják az õs hegyek áldásait, az örök halmok kiességeit. Szálljanak József fejére, a testvérek közûl kiválasztatottnak koponyájára.

27 Benjámin ragadozó farkas: reggel ragadományt eszik, este pedig zsákmányt oszt.

28 Mind ezek Izráel nemzetségei, tizenketten, és ez az a mit mondott nékik az õ atyjok, mikor õket megáldá; mindeniket tulajdon áldásával áldá meg.

29 És parancsola nékik és monda: Én az én népemhez takaríttatom, temessetek engem az én atyáimhoz, ama barlangba, mely a Khitteus Efron mezején van.

30 Abba a barlangba, mely Kanaán földén Mamré átellenében Makpelahnak mezején van, melyet megvett Ábrahám a mezõvel együtt a Khitteus Efrontól, temetésre való örökségül.

31 Oda temették el Ábrahámot és Sárát az õ feleségét; oda temették Izsákot és Rebekát az õ feleségét; s oda temettem el Leát is.

32 Szerzemény e mezõ és a barlang, mely abban van, a Khéth fiaitól.

33 És elvégezé Jákób a mit fiainak parancsolt és fölszedé lábait az ágyra, és kimúlék és az õ népéhez takaríttaték.

3300. 'And the first came out, ruddy all over, like a hairy garment' 1 means good constituting the life of natural truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming out' as being born, from the meaning of 'ruddy' as good constituting the life, dealt with below, and from the meaning of 'a hairy garment' as the truth of the natural, also dealt with below. His being 'the first' means that in essence good is prior, as stated above in 3299. It is also called 'a hairy garment' so as to mean that good was clothed with truth as in a thin casing or body, as also stated above in 3299. In the Word 'a tunic' means nothing else in the internal sense than something that clothes another thing, and that also is why truths are compared to garments, 1073, 2576.

[2] The reason why 'ruddy' or 'red' means good constituting the life is that all good flows from love, and love itself is celestial and spiritual fire. Love is also compared to and actually called fire, see 933-936, as well as being compared to and actually called blood, 1001. Because both fire and blood are red, good that flows from love is meant by 'ruddy' and 'red', as may also be seen from the following places in the Word: In the prophecy of Jacob, who by then was Israel,

He will wash his clothing in wine and his garment in the blood of grapes. His eyes will be redder than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk. Genesis 49:11-12.

This refers to Judah, who is used here to mean the Lord, as may be clear to anyone. 'Clothing' here and 'garment' are the Lord's Divine Natural. 'wine' and 'the blood of grapes' are the Divine Good and Divine Truth of the Natural - Divine Good being spoken of as 'eyes redder than wine', and Divine Truth as 'teeth whiter than milk'. It is the joining together of good and truth within the Natural that is described in this fashion.

[3] In Isaiah,

Who is this who is coming from Edom, red as to his clothing, and his clothes like his that treads in the winepress? Isaiah 63:1-2.

Here 'Edom' stands for the Divine Good of the Lord's Divine Natural, as will be evident later on. 'Red as to clothing' is the good of truth, and 'clothes like his that treads in the winepress' the truth of good. In Jeremiah,

Her Nazirites were brighter than snow, they were whiter than milk. They were ruddier in body 2 than rubies, polished like sapphire. 3 Lamentations 4:7.

'Nazirites' represented the Lord's Divine Human, in particular the Divine Natural, and so the good of the latter was represented by their being 'ruddier in body than rubies'.

[4] Because 'red' meant good, in particular the good of the natural, the Jewish Church - in which every single thing was representative of the Lord, and from this of His kingdom, and consequently of good and truth which are the source of the Lord's kingdom - was therefore commanded to have a covering for the tabernacle of red-rams' skins, Exodus 25:5; 26:14; 35:5-7, 23; 36:19. That Church was also commanded to prepare the water for making atonement from the ashes of the red heifer that had been burnt, Numbers 19:2 and following verses. Unless the colour red had been a sign of something heavenly in the Lord's kingdom, it would never have been commanded that the rams should be red and that the heifer should be red. The fact that they represented sacred things anyone acknowledges who considers the Word to be sacred. Because the colour red had that meaning, therefore also the coverings of the Tabernacle were interwoven with, and had loops made of, scarlet, purple, and violet yarn, Exodus 35:6.

[5] Seeing that almost everything also has a contrary sense, as often stated, so too has 'red'. In the contrary sense 'red' means evil that is the outcome of self-love, the reasons for this being that the desires belonging to self-love are compared to and actually called fire, 934 (end), 1297, 1527, 1528, 1861, 2446, and are likewise compared to and actually called blood, 374, 954, 1005. Consequently 'red' in the contrary sense means those things, as in Isaiah,

Jehovah said, Though your sins are like scarlet, they will be white as snow. Though they are red as crimson, 4 they will be as wool. Isaiah 1:18.

In Nahum,

The shields of the mighty men of Belial have been made red, the mighty men are in crimson!; enveloped in the fire of torches are the chariots on the day [of preparation]. Nahum 2:3.

In John,

Another sign appeared in heaven, Behold, a great fiery-red dragon having seven heads, and on his heads seven jewels. Revelation 12:3.

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; he went out conquering and to conquer. Then there came out another horse, fiery-red; and he who sat on the horse was permitted to take peace away from the earth, and so that men would slay one another. Therefore to him was given a great sword. After that a black horse came out, and at length a pale horse, whose name is death. Revelation 6:2-8.
