Genesis 49:2

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.

Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.

My son, hear the instruction of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:

Hear, my'sons, the instruction of a father, And attend to know understanding:

My son, attend unto my wisdom; Incline thine ear to my understanding:

My son, keep the commandment of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:

My son, keep my words, And lay up my commandments with thee.

Now therefore, my'sons, hearken unto me; For blessed are they that keep my ways.

Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, And despise not thy mother when she is old.
