1 Наконецъ Іаковъ призвалъ сыновъ своихъ и сказалъ: Соберитесь, и я возвјщу вамъ, Что случится съ вами въ грядущіе дни.

2 Сойдитесь, и послушайте, сыны Іакова, Послушайте Израиля, отца вашего

3 Рувимъ! ты мой первенецъ, Крјпость моя, и начатокъ силы моей, Верхъ достоинства, и верхъ могущества.

4 Но ты бушевалъ, какъ вода, - не будешь высшимъ; Ибо ты взошелъ на ложе отца твоего; Тогда осквернилъ ты постелю мою, На которую взошелъ.

5 Симеонъ и Левій братья; Орудія жестокости мечи ихъ.

6 Въ тайну ихъ да не внидетъ душа моя, И къ сонмищу ихъ да не пріобщится слава моя. Ибо они во гнјвј своемъ избили мужей; И въ своевольствј своемъ перерјзали жилы тельцевъ.

7 Проклятъ гнјвъ ихъ, ибо жестокъ; И ярость ихъ, ибо свирјпа; Раздјлю ихъ во Іаковј, И разсјю ихъ во Израилј.

8 Іуда! тебя восхвалятъ братія твои. Рука твоя на хребтј враговъ твоихъ. Поклонятся тебј сыны отца твоего.

9 Іуда юный левъ. Ты идешь съ ловитвы, сынъ мой. Онъ преклонился, возлегъ, Какъ левъ, и какъ львица. Кто возбудитъ его?

10 Не отнимется скипетръ отъ Іуды, И законоположникъ отъ чреслъ его, Пока не придетъ Примиритель, И Ему покорность народовъ.

11 Онъ привязываетъ къ виноградной лозј осленка своего, Омываетъ виномъ одежду свою, И кровію гроздовъ одјяніе свое.

12 Очи его красны отъ вина, И зубы его бјлы отъ молока.

13 Завулонъ при берегахъ моря жить будетъ, И при берегахъ, гдј корабли. И прострется до Сидона.

14 Иссахаръ оселъ крјпкій, Лежащій между протоками водъ.

15 Онъ видитъ, что покоище хорошо, И что земля пріятна; И преклоняетъ рамена свои для ношенія бременъ, И работаетъ, чтобы платить дань.

16 Данъ будетъ судить народъ свой, Подобно другимъ колјнамъ Израилевымъ.

17 Данъ будетъ змјй на пути, Аспидъ на дорогј, Уязвитъ ногу коня, И всадникъ упадетъ назадъ.

18 Твоего сиасенія жду я, Іегова!

19 Гадъ, толпа нападетъ на него, Но онъ отразитъ ее,

20 Отъ Ассира лучшій хлјбъ; онъ будетъ доставлять яства царскія.

21 Нефѕалимъ терпентинъ вјтвистый, Распускающій прекрасныя вјтви.

22 Іосифъ отрасль плодоноснаго древа, Отрасль плодоноснаго древа надъ источникомъ; Вјтви его простираются черезъ стјну.

23 Огорчаютъ его, стрјляютъ въ него, Враждуютъ на него стрјльцы.

24 Но твердъ останется лукъ его. Отъ крјпкаго Бот Іаковлева, - Оттолј пастырь онъ, камень Израиля,

25 Отъ Бога отца твоего, Который и помогаетъ тебј, И отъ Всемогущаго, Который и благословляетъ тебя Благословеніями небесъ свыше, Благословеніями бездны, лежащія долу, Благословеніями сосцевъ и утробы.

26 Благословенія отца твоего превышаютъ благословенія горъ древнихъ и пріятности холмовъ вјчныхъ. Да пріидутъ онј на главу Іосифа И на чело избраннаго между братьями своими!

27 Веніаминъ хищный волкъ, Утромъ будетъ јсть ловитву, И вечеромъ будетъ дјлить добычу.

28 Вотъ всј двјнадцать колјнъ Израильскихъ, и вотъ что сказалъ имъ отецъ ихъ; и благословилъ ихъ, и далъ имъ каждому свое благословеніе.

29 Потомъ далъ имъ приказаніе, и сказалъ имъ: я отхожу къ народу своему; похороните меня съ отцами моими въ пещерј, которая на полј Ефрона Хеттеяннна;

30 въ пещерј, которая на полј, Махпела, что противъ Мамре, въ землј Ханаанской, которое поле Авраамъ купилъ у Ефрона Хеттеянина въ собственность для погребенія.

31 Тамъ похоронили Авраама и жену его Сарру; тамъ похоронили Исаака и жену его Реввеку; тамъ похоронилъ я Лію.

32 Это поле съ пещерою, которая на немъ, куплено у сыновъ Хеттеевыхъ.

33 Окончивъ сіе завјщаніе сынамъ своимъ, Іаковъ положилъ ноги свои на одръ, и испустилъ духъ, и присоединился къ народу своему.

2761. That 'a white horse' means an understanding of the Word as regards its interior contents, or what amounts to the same, as regards the internal sense of the Word is clear from the meaning of 'a horse' as the understanding part of the mind. In prophetical parts of the Word 'a horse' and 'a rider' are referred to many times, but up to now nobody has known that 'a horse' means the understanding part of the mind, and 'a rider' one who has intelligence, as in the prophecy of Jacob, who by then was Israel, concerning Dan,

Dan will be a serpent on the road, a darting serpent on the path, biting the horse's heels; and its rider will fall backwards. I am awaiting Your salvation, O Jehovah. Genesis 49:17-18.

'A serpent' means one who reasons about Divine arcana on the basis of sensory evidence and factual knowledge, see 195. 'Road' and 'path' mean truth, 627, 2333, 'heel' means the lowest part of the natural, 259, 'horse' an understanding of the Word, and 'rider' one who teaches. From this it is evident what these prophetical words mean, namely that one who reasons about the truths of faith on the basis of sensory evidence and factual knowledge is interested solely in the lowest things belonging to the natural world and so believes nothing, which is 'falling backwards'. And this is why the words 'I am awaiting Your salvation, O Jehovah' are added.

[2] In Habakkuk,

O God, You ride on Your horses, Your chariots are salvation. You made Your horses to tread in the sea. Habakkuk 3:8, 15.

Here 'horses' stands for Divine Truths that are in the Word, 'chariots' for doctrine drawn from them, 'the sea' for cognitions, 28, 2120. And since these belong to an understanding of the Word from God, it is said, 'You made Your horses to tread in the sea'. Here, as in the quotation above from the Book of Revelation, horses are attributed to God, but this attribution would not be possible if they did not have such a meaning.

[3] In David,

Sing to God, sing praises to His name; exalt Him who rides on the clouds by His name lain. Psalms 68:4.

'Riding on the clouds' stands for an understanding of the Word as regards its interior contents or internal sense; for 'clouds' means the Word in the letter which has the internal sense within it - see the Preface to Genesis 18, where the meaning of 'the Lord's coming in the clouds of heaven with power and glory' is explained.

[4] In the same author,

Jehovah bowed the heavens and came down; and thick darkness was under His feet, and He rode on a cherub. Psalms 18:9-10.

'Thick darkness' here stands for clouds, 'riding on a cherub' for the Lord's providence preventing man's entering of himself into the mysteries of faith that are in the Word, 308. In Zechariah,

On that day there will be on the horse-bells, Holiness to Jehovah. Zechariah 14:20. 'The horse-bells' stands for an understanding of the spiritual things of the Word, which are holy.

[5] In Jeremiah,

There will enter through the gates of this city kings and princes seated on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their princes, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And this city will be inhabited for ever. Jeremiah 17:25-26; 22:4.

'The city of Jerusalem' stands for the Lord's spiritual kingdom and Church. 'Kings' stands for truths, 1672, 2015, 2069, 'princes' for the first and foremost commandments of truth, 1482, 2089, 'David' for the Lord, 1888, 'men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem' for those in whom there exists good that flows from love, charity, and faith, 2268, 2451, 2712. Thus 'riding in chariots and on horses' stands for being furnished with the doctrine of truth received from an internal understanding of the Word.

[6] In Isaiah, Then will you take delight in Jehovah and I will cause you to ride over the high places of the earth and cause you to eat the heritage of Jacob. Isaiah 58:14.

'Riding over the high places of the earth' stands for intelligence. In David,

A love song. Gird your sword on your thigh, O mighty one, [gird on] your glory and majesty. And in your majesty go on, ride on the word of truth, and of the meekness of righteousness. And your right hand will teach you marvellous things. Psalms 45:1, 3-4.

'Riding on the word of truth' stands plainly for intelligence based on truth, 'on the word of the meekness of righteousness' for wisdom based on good.

[7] In Zechariah,

On that day, said Jehovah, I will strike every horse with panic, and its rider with madness. And on the house of Judah I will open My eyes, and every horse of the peoples I will strike with blindness. Zechariah 12:4.

Here also 'horse' plainly stands for the understanding which was to be 'stricken with panic and blindness', and 'rider' for him with intelligence who was to be 'stricken with madness'. In Hosea,

Take away all iniquity and accept that which is good, and we will render the praises 1 of our lips. Asshur will not save us, we will not ride on horses, and we will no more say Our God' to the work of our hands. Hosea 14:2-3.

'Asshur' stands for reasoning, 119, 1186, 'horse' for self-intelligence. 'Horse' and 'rider' are referred to in very many other places besides these.
