Jacob’s Last Words to His Sons

49 Then Jacob called together all his sons and said, “Gather around me, and I will tell you what will happen to each of you in the days to come.

¹⁴ Now I am returning to my own people. But first let me tell you what the Israelites will do to your people in the future.”
