1 Jokūbas, pasišaukęs savo sūnus, kalbėjo: “Susirinkite! Paskelbsiu jums, kas įvyks su jumis ateityje.

2 Susirinkite ir klausykite, Jokūbo sūnūs! Pasiklausykite Izraelio, savo tėvo!

3 ubenai, tu esi mano pirmagimis, mano tvirtybė, mano pajėgumo pradžia, pirmas orumu ir galybe.

4 Neramus kaip vanduo! Tu neįsigalėsi, nes įlipai į savo tėvo lovą ir atsiguldamas sutepei mano patalą.

5 Simeonas ir Levis­broliai; smurto įrankiai jų namuose.

6 Mano siela, neik į jų pasitarimus, nesijunk į jų būrį, mano garbe. Užsirūstinę jie nužudė žmogų ir savivaliaudami sužalojo jaučius.

7 Prakeiktas tebūna jų nuožmus įtūžimas ir žiaurus pyktis! Aš juos padalinsiu Jokūbe ir išsklaidysiu Izraelyje.

8 Judai, tu susilauksi savo brolių pagarbos, tavo ranka bus ant tavo priešų sprando; tavo tėvo vaikai nusilenks prieš tave.

9 Judas­jaunas liūtas. Mano sūnus, kyląs nuo grobio. Jis sustojo, atsigulė kaip liūtas ar kaip liūtė. Kas jį prikels!

10 Judo nebus atimtas skeptras nė valdžia iš jo palikuonių, kol ateis siųstasis, kuriam paklus tautos.

11 Jis riša prie vynmedžio savo asilaitį ir prie geriausio vynmedžio savo asilės jauniklį; jis plauna vyne savo drabužį ir vynuogių sultyse­apsiaustą.

12 Jo akys spindės nuo vyno ir dantys bus balti nuo pieno.

13 Zabulonas gyvens prie jūros kranto, kur priplaukia laivai; jo žemių ribos sieks Sidoną.

14 Isacharas yra stiprus asilas, gulįs tarp dviejų nešulių.

15 Matydamas, kad poilsis geras ir šalis tokia miela, jis palenkė savo petį, kad neštų, ir tapo samdomu bernu.

16 Danas teis savo tautą, kaip viena iš Izraelio giminių.

17 Danas bus gyvatė šalia kelio, angis ant tako, gelianti žirgui į kulnis taip, kad jo raitelis nuvirstų atbulas.

18 Viešpatie, aš laukiu Tavo išgelbėjimo!

19 Gadas bus užpultas priešų, bet jis vysis juos įkandin, lips jiems ant kulnų.

20 Ašero duona bus soti; jis tieks maistą net karaliams.

21 Neftalis­laisvas briedis, jis gražbylys.

22 Juozapas­jaunas vaismedis prie versmės, jo šakos nusvirusios per mūrą.

23 Šauliai erzino jį, šaudė ir nekentė jo.

24 Jo lankas pasiliko stiprus ir jo rankas sustiprino Jokūbo galingojo Dievo rankos. Iš ten ganytojas ir Izraelio uola.

25 Tavo tėvo Dievas padės tau, Visagalis laimins tave dangaus palaiminimais iš aukštybių, gelmių palaiminimais, esančiais žemai, krūtų ir įsčių palaiminimais.

26 Tavo tėvo palaiminimai pranoko mano protėvių palaiminimus iki amžinųjų kalvų tolimiausių ribų; jie bus ant Juozapo galvos ir ant galvos vainiko to, kuris buvo atskirtas nuo savo brolių.

27 Benjaminas­plėšrus vilkas; rytą jis draskys grobį, o vakare padalins jį”.

28 Tai yra dvylika Izraelio giminių, ir tai jiems kalbėjo tėvas, ir palaimino juos. Kiekvieną palaimino atskiru palaiminimu.

29 Po to jis jiems tarė: “Aš susijungsiu su savo tauta. Palaidokite mane prie mano tėvų oloje, kuri yra hetito Efrono lauke,

30 Machpelos lauko oloje, ties Mamre, Kanaano šalyje. Tą lauką Abraomas nupirko iš hetito Efrono nuosavoms kapinėms.

31 Ten palaidotas Abraomas ir jo žmona Sara, Izaokas ir jo žmona ebeka, ten aš palaidojau ir Lėją.

32 Tai laukas ir ola, kurie buvo nupirkti iš Heto vaikų”.

33 Jokūbas, baigęs duoti nurodymus savo sūnums, įkėlė kojas į lovą, atidavė dvasią ir susijungė su savo tauta.

6413. 'Is a hind let loose' means the freedom that natural affection possesses. This is clear from the meaning of 'a hind' as natural affection, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'let loose' as freedom, for when a hind that has been captured is let loose it has freedom. Freedom from a state of temptations is compared to 'a hind let loose' because a hind is a woodland creature that loves more than all others to be free. The natural too is like this, for it loves to engage in what delights its affections and therefore to feel free; for freedom is the hallmark of affection. The reason 'a hind' means natural affection is that it is one of the beasts that serve to mean the affections, all of which beasts can be used as food and are useful creatures, such as lambs, sheep, she-goats, kids, he-goats, as well as bulls, young bulls, and also cows. Yet these beasts also serve to mean spiritual affections because burnt offerings and sacrifices were made of them, whereas 'hinds', because they were not put to that use, served to mean natural affections. For 'beasts' and their meaning affections, see 45, 46, 142, 143, 246, 714, 715, 719, 776, 1823, 2179, 2180, 3519, 5198; and the fact that their meaning affections has its origin in representatives in the world of spirits, 3218, 5850.

[2] Natural affections are also meant by 'hinds' in David,

Jehovah makes my feet like those of hinds, and sets me on my high places. Psalms 18:33.

And in Habakkuk,

Jehovih the Lord is my strength, who places my feet like those of hinds, and causes me to walk on my high places. Habakkuk 3:19.

'Placing feet like those of hinds' stands for the natural when its affections are in freedom, 'feet' being the natural, see 2162, 3147, 3761, 3986, 4280, 4938-4952, 5327, 5328. This meaning of 'placing feet like those of hinds may be seen from the fact there is nothing spiritual about making a person's feet like those of hinds, nimble and fit to run with. Yet the idea does have a spiritual implication, as is evident from the references that immediately follow to being set by Jehovah on high places and caused to walk on them, meaning spiritual affection on a level above natural affection. The same applies to the following words in Isaiah,

The lame man will leap like a hart. Isaiah 35:6.

'The lame man' means a person who is governed by good, though not as yet by genuine good, 4302.

[3] In David,

As the hart cries out for the water brooks, 1 so does my soul cry out for You. Psalms 42:1.

Here 'the hart' stands for the affection for truth, 'crying out for the water brooks' for desiring truths, 'waters' being truths, see 2702, 3058, 3424, 4976, 5668.

[4] In Jeremiah,

There has gone out from the daughter of Zion all her majesty; her princes have become like harts, they have not found pasture. Lamentations 1:6.

'The daughter of Zion' stands for the affection for good, the affection the celestial Church has, 2362. 'Princes stands for the first and foremost truths of that Church, 1482, 2089, 5044, which truths are compared to 'harts', by which affections for natural truth are meant. And by harts that 'have not found pasture' are meant natural affections devoid of truths and forms of good that go with them, 'pasture' being truth and the good of truth that sustain a person's spiritual life, see 6078, 6277.

[5] 'Hinds' is used in a similar way in Jeremiah,

The land was broken up in pieces because no rain had come to be on the land; the farmers were put to shame, they covered their heads, because even the hind in the field calved but left because there was no grass. Jeremiah 14:4-5.

'The hind' stands for an affection for natural good, 'calved in the field' for joining natural affections to spiritual ones which exist in the Church. Yet because those affections were devoid of truths and forms of good, it says that she left the field because there was no grass. Anyone can see that these things said about the hind have an inner meaning, for without it what point would there be in saying that the hind in the field calved but left because there was no grass?

[6] The same is so with what is said in David,

The voice of Jehovah causes the hinds to calve, and strips the forests bare; but in His temple everyone says, Glory. Psalms 29:9.

The existence of an inner meaning, which is the spiritual sense, within the statement that 'the voice of Jehovah causes the hinds to calve' is perfectly clear from the fact that immediately afterwards it says, 'but in His temple everyone says, Glory'. Without the spiritual sense these words do not hang together with the statement before them about hinds and forests.
