Genesis 49:27

Jacob Blesses His Twelve Sons

²⁶ “The blessings of your father
Have surpassed the blessings of my ancestors
Up to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills;
May they be on the head of Joseph,
And on the crown of the head of the one distinguished among his brothers.
²⁷ “Benjamin is a ravenous wolf;
In the morning he devours the prey,
And in the evening he divides the spoil.” ²⁸ All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father said to them when he blessed them. He blessed them, every one with the blessing appropriate to him.
