Genesis 49:2

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

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

My son, hear the instruction of your father, and forsake not the law of your mother:

Hear, you children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

My son, be attentive to my wisdom, and incline your ear to my understanding:

My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not the law of your mother:

My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with you.

Now therefore hearken unto me, O you children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.

Hearken unto your father that begat you, and despise not your mother when she is old.
