Genesis 49:27

Jacob Blesses His Twelve Sons

²⁶ The blessings of your father are greater than the blessings of the eternal mountains or the desirable things of the age-old hills. They will be on the head of Joseph and on the brow of the prince of his brothers. ²⁷ Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; in the morning devouring the prey, and in the evening dividing the plunder." ²⁸ These are the twelve tribes of Israel. This is what their father said to them when he blessed them. He gave each of them an appropriate blessing.
