Genesis 49:8-10
8 “Judah, a your brothers shall praise you;b your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies;
c your father’s sons shall bow down before you.
9 Judah is d a lion’s cub;
from the prey, my son, you have gone up.
e He stooped down; he crouched as a lion
and as a lioness; who dares rouse him?
10 The f scepter shall not depart from Judah,
nor the ruler’s staff g from between his feet,
until tribute comes to him; ▼
▼
By a slight revocalization; a slight emendation yields (compare Septuagint, Syriac, Targum) until he comes to whom it belongs; Hebrew until Shiloh comes, or until he comes to Shiloh
and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.
