Genesis 49:10-12
EasyEnglish Bible

10 Judah's descendants will always rule as king. They will continue to hold the stick and the sceptre that show the king's authority. They will do that until the man comes who truly has that authority. People from all nations will obey that king.[a]

11 Judah will tie his young donkey to a vine. It will be a vine that has the best grapes. He will wash his clothes in the red wine that is made from those grapes.[b]

12 His eyes will become red because he drinks so much wine. His teeth will become white because he drinks so much milk.[c]
