Genesis 49:1-33 Jacob's blessings
1. Genesis 49:1-33 Jacob's blessings
Genesis 49:1 And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. [kjv]
εκαλεσεν δε ιακωβ τους υιους αυτου και ειπεν συναχθητε ινα αναγγειλω υμιν τι απαντησει υμιν επ εσχατων των ημερων [lxx]
In Genesis 49, Jacob blesses each of his sons and what should happen to them in the "
last days". These blessings have been interpreted as prophecies.
This page is a start at looking at some of these blessings, particularly in terms of the
LXX (Septuagint) as an interesting comparison to the Hebrew (when they differ).

48. Genesis 49:16 Dan
Genesis 49:16 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel. [kjv]
דן ידין … [he]
δαν κρινει τον εαυτου λαον ωσει και μια φυλη εν ισραηλ [lxx]
The prophecy for Dan is somewhat enigmatic and unclear.
The Greek for "
judge" is that of making a "
division". If those making the "
division" have power, it may include assessing a penalty and enforcing the penalty.
This "
division" is as one of the tribes. When the tribes lose their identity, it is unclear what the "
judge" would represent.
snake, serpent (later bird)
accuser
49. Dan as judge
The Israeli tribe of Dan were the judges, which is what Dan means.
The Hebrew name "
Dan" means "
judge". The Hebrew name "
Daniel" means "
God" be my "
judge".
50. Daniel
Thus, the name "
Daniel" means "
God be my judge" or "
God the judge" (or something similar).
51. Genesis 49:16
KJV: Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
Hebrew: דן ידין עמו כאחד שבטי ישראל׃
Greek: δαν κρινει τον εαυτου λαον ωσει και μια φυλη εν ισραηλ
Brenton: Dan shall judge his people, as one tribe too in Israel.
52. Genesis 49:17 Dan
The Hebrew word for "
Dan" means "
judge" as in "
Daniel" meaning "
God be my judge". Dan is associated with the "
serpent" but, later, associated with the "
eagle". The Hebrew word for "
evil" is associated with birds of prey such as the "
vulture".
Genesis 49:17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward. [kjv]
και γενηθητω δαν οφις εφ οδου εγκαθημενος επι τριβου δακνων πτερναν ιππου και πεσειται ο ιππευς εις τα οπισω [lxx]
Dan is causing the rider of the horse to "
fall". Which horse might that be and who might be the rider?
The tribe of "
Dan" was associated with the direction "
north" which was considered "
sinister" and "
evil".
The "
adder" was originally "
nadder" before the leading "
n" was dropped. So too for "
numpire" going to "
umpire".
53. Genesis 49:17
KJV: Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
Hebrew: יהי דן נחש עלי דרך שפיפן עלי ארח הנשך עקבי סוס ויפל רכבו אחור׃
Greek: και γενηθητω δαν οφις εφ οδου εγκαθημενος επι τριβου δακνων πτερναν ιππου και πεσειται ο ιππευς εις τα οπισω
Brenton: And let Dan be a serpent in the way, besetting the path, biting the heel of the horse (and the rider shall fall backward),
54. Genesis 49:18 Salvation
Genesis 49:18 I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD. [kjv]
την σωτηριαν περιμενω κυριου [lxx]
55. Genesis 49:18

Hebrew: לישועתך קויתי יהוה׃
Greek: την σωτηριαν περιμενω κυριου
56. Genesis 49:19 Gad
57. Genesis 49:19
KJV: Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.
Hebrew: גד גדוד יגודנו והוא יגד עקב׃
Greek: γαδ πειρατηριον πειρατευσει αυτον αυτος δε πειρατευσει αυτων κατα ποδας
Brenton: Gad, a plundering troop shall plunder him; but he shall plunder him, pursuing him closely.
58. Genesis 49:20 Asher
Genesis 49:20 Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties. [kjv]
ασηρ πιων αυτου ο αρτος και αυτος δωσει τρυφην αρχουσιν [lxx]

[Exodus, Deuteronomy 33]
[shoes metal, oil lubricated their feet]
[Luke 2:36 - Anna]
59. Genesis 49:20
KJV: Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.

Brenton: Aser, his bread shall be fat; and he shall yield dainties to princes.
60. Genesis 49:21 Naphtali

νεφθαλι στελεχος ανειμενον επιδιδους εν τω γενηματι καλλος [lxx]
Nephthalim is a spreading stem, bestowing beauty on its fruit. [bs3]
goodly words
diluted wine, no longer strong
swift deer (hind)
deceptive appearances

KJV: Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
Hebrew: נפתלי אילה שלחה הנתן אמרי שפר׃

Brenton: Nephthalim is a spreading stem, bestowing beauty on its fruit.
62. Genesis 49:22-23 Joseph
Genesis 49:22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall: [kjv]
υιος ηυξημενος ιωσηφ υιος ηυξημενος ζηλωτος υιος μου νεωτατος προς με αναστρεψον [lxx]
Joseph is a son increased; my dearly loved son is increased; my youngest son, turn to me. [bs3]
49:23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him: [kjv]
εις ον διαβουλευομενοι ελοιδορουν και ενειχον αυτω κυριοι τοξευματων [lxx]
Against whom men taking evil counsel reproached him, and the archers pressed hard upon him. [bs3]
Ephraim - ox
Manasseh - onyx

Greek: και συνετριβη μετα κρατους τα τοξα αυτων και εξελυθη τα νευρα βραχιονων χειρων αυτων δια χειρα δυναστου ιακωβ εκειθεν ο κατισχυσας ισραηλ
67. Genesis 49:25

68. Genesis 49:26 Blessings
