Genesis 49

9 Judah is *Rev. 5:5;[Deut. 33:22;Hos. 5:14] a lion’s cub;

from the prey, my son, you have gone up.

*[Num. 23:24;24:9]He stooped down; he crouched as a lion

and as a lioness; who dares rouse him?

10 The *Num. 24:17;Zech. 10:11scepter shall not depart from Judah,

nor the ruler’s staff *Deut. 28:57from between his feet,

until tribute comes to him;*49:10 By a slight revocalization; a slight emendation yields (compare Septuagint, Syriac, Targum) until he comes to whom it belongs; Hebrew until Shiloh comes, or until he comes to Shiloh

and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.
