Genesis 49

9 Judah is a young lion  * 49:9 Nm 24:9; Ezk 19:5–7; Mc 5:8; Rv 5:5  —

my son, you return from the kill.

He crouches; he lies down like a lion

or a lioness — who dares to rouse him?

10 The scepter will not depart from Judah

or the staff from between his feet

until he whose right it is comes  * 49:10 Or until tribute comes to him, or until Shiloh comes, or until he comes to Shiloh,* 49:10 Nm 2:9; 10:14; 24:17; Jdg 1:1–2; Ps 60:7; 108:8; Ezk 21:27

and the obedience of the peoples belongs to him.  * 49:10 Ps 2:6–9; 72:8–11; Is 42:1,4; 49:6
