Genesis 49:2
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
2 Assemble and hear, O sons of Jacob;
listen to Israel your father.
Genesis 49:8-10
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
8 Judah, your brothers shall praise you;
your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies;
your father’s sons shall bow down before you.
9 Judah is a lion’s whelp;
from the prey, my son, you have gone up.
He crouches down, he stretches out like a lion,
like a lioness—who dares rouse him up?
10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah,
nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,
until tribute comes to him;[a]
and the obedience of the peoples is his.
