Genesis 49
49:1 And
Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may
tell you [that] which shall befall you
in the (
a) last days.
(
a) When God will bring you out of Egypt, and
because he speaks of the Messiah, he calls it the last days.
49:3 Reuben, thou [art] my
firstborn, my
b might, and the beginning
of my strength,
c the excellency of
dignity, and the excellency of power:
(
b) Begotten in my youth.
(
c) If you have not left your birthright by your
offence.
49:6 O my
soul, come not thou into their
d secret;
unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they
slew a
e man, and in their selfwill they
digged down a wall.
(
d) Or, tongue: meaning that he neither consented
to them in word or thought.
(
e) The Shechemites (
Genesis
34:26).
49:7 Cursed [be] their anger, for [it was] fierce;
and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will
f
divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
(
f) For Levi had no part, and Simeon was under
Judah, (
Joshua
19:1) till God gave them the place of the Amalekites, (
1 Chronicles
4:43).
49:8 Judah, thou [art he] whom thy brethren shall
praise: thy hand [shall be] in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's
children shall
g bow down before thee.
(
g) As was verified in David and Christ.
49:9 Judah [is] a lion's whelp: from the prey, my
son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old
lion;
h who shall rouse him up?
(
h) His enemies will so fear him.
49:10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor
a lawgiver from between his feet, until
i
Shiloh come; and unto him [shall] the gathering of the people [be].
(
i) Which is Christ the Messiah, the giver of
prosperity who will call the Gentiles to salvation.
49:11 Binding his foal unto the
k
vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine,
and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
(
k) A country most abundant with vines and
pastures is promised to him.
49:14
Issachar [is]
l a strong ass couching
down between two burdens:
(
l) His force will be great, but he will lack
courage to resist his enemies.
49:16 Dan
m
shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
(
m) Shall have the honour of a tribe.
49:18 o
I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.
(
o) Seeing the miseries that his posterity would
fall into, he bursts out in prayer to God to remedy it.
49:20 Out of Asher his
p
bread [shall be] fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.
(
p) He will abound in corn and pleasant fruits.
49:21 Naphtali [is] a hind let loose: he giveth
q
goodly words.
(
q) Overcoming more by fair words than by force.
49:23 r
The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot [at him], and hated him:
(
r) As his brethren when they were his enemies,
Potiphar and others.
49:24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms
of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty [God] of Jacob; (from
thence [is] the shepherd, the
s stone of
Israel:)
(
s) That is God.
49:26 The blessings of thy
father have
t prevailed above the
blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they
shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was
u
separate from his brethren.
(
t) In as much as he was closer to the
accomplishment of the promise and it had been more often confirmed.
(
u) Either in dignity, or when he was sold from
his brethren.
49:33
And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he
x
gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered
unto his people.
(
x) By which is signified how quietly he died.
