Genesis 49:8
Berean Standard Bible
Judah,* your brothers shall praise you. Your hand shall be on the necks of your enemies; your father’s sons shall bow down to you.
Context
6May I never enter their council;
may I never join their assembly.
For they kill men in their anger,
and hamstring oxen on a whim. 7Cursed be their anger, for it is strong,
and their wrath, for it is cruel!
I will disperse them in Jacob
and scatter them in Israel. 8Judah,* your brothers shall praise you.
Your hand shall be on the necks of your enemies;
your father’s sons shall bow down to you. 9Judah is a young lion—
my son, you return from the prey.
Like a lion he crouches and lies down;
like a lioness, who dares to rouse him? 10The scepter will not depart from Judah,
nor the staff from between his feet,*
until Shiloh * comes
and the allegiance of the nations is his.
