Genesis 49:27

Jacob Blesses His Twelve Sons

²⁶ The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of your ancestors, above the boundaries of the ancient hills. They will be on the head of Joseph, on the crown of the head of him who is separated from his brothers. ²⁷ "Benjamin is a ravenous wolf. In the morning he will devour the prey. At evening he will divide the spoil." ²⁸ All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke to them and blessed them. He blessed everyone according to his blessing.
