Genesis 49

9 Judah is a young lion—

my son, you return from the prey.

Like a lion he crouches and lies down;

like a lioness, who dares to rouse him?

10 The scepter will not depart from Judah,

nor the staff from between his feet,*49:10 Or from his descendants

until Shiloh*49:10 Or until the one to whom tribute belongs comes

and the allegiance of the nations is his.
