Genesis 49:26 in Context — Genesis 49

24 Mais son arc est demeuré ferme, Et ses mains ont été fortifiées Par les mains du Puissant de Jacob: Il est ainsi devenu le berger, le rocher d’Israël.

25 C’est l’œuvre du Dieu de ton père, qui t’aidera; C’est l’œuvre du Tout-Puissant, qui te bénira Des bénédictions des cieux en haut, Des bénédictions des eaux en bas, Des bénédictions des mamelles et du sein maternel.

26 Les bénédictions de ton père s’élèvent Au-dessus des bénédictions de mes pères Jusqu’à la cime des collines éternelles: Qu’elles soient sur la tête de Joseph, Sur le sommet de la tête du prince de ses frères!

27 Benjamin est un loup qui déchire; Le matin, il dévore la proie, Et le soir, il partage le butin.

28 Ce sont là tous ceux qui forment les douze tribus d’Israël. Et c’est là ce que leur dit leur père, en les bénissant. Il les bénit, chacun selon sa bénédiction.
