Genesis 49:27

Jacob Blesses His Twelve Sons

²⁶ The blessings of your father are greater than the blessings of the oldest mountains and the riches of the ancient hills. May these blessings rest on the head of Joseph, on the crown of the prince 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 These are the twelve tribes of Israel. This is how Jacob blessed each of them.
