Genesis 49:10-12
New King James Version
10 (A)The [a]scepter shall not depart from Judah,
Nor (B)a lawgiver from between his feet,
(C)Until Shiloh comes;
(D)And to Him shall be the obedience of the people.
11 Binding his donkey to the vine,
And his donkey’s colt to the choice vine,
He washed his garments in wine,
And his clothes in the blood of grapes.
12 His eyes are darker than wine,
And his teeth whiter than milk.
