Genesis 49:27

Jacob Blesses His Twelve Sons

²⁶ Blessings of sons, old and young, to the father: blessings of the oldest mountains and the fruit of the eternal hills: let them come on the head of Joseph, on the crown of him who was separate from his brothers. ²⁷ Benjamin is a wolf, searching for meat: in the morning he takes his food, and in the evening he makes division of what he has taken. ²⁸ These are the twelve tribes of Israel: and these are the words their father said to them, blessing them; to every one he gave his blessing.
