Genesis 49:4

⁴פַּחַז כַּמַּיִם אַל־תּוֹתַר כִּי עָלִיתָ מִשְׁכְּבֵי אָבִיךָ אָז חִלַּלְתָּ יְצוּעִי עָלָה ׃ פa

Genesis 49 records Jacob's final prophetic blessings and curses upon his twelve sons, delivered just before his death. These pronouncements are not merely fatherly advice but divinely inspired prophecies that foreshadow the future character, territory, and destiny of each of the twelve tribes of Israel. The chapter culminates with Jacob's instructions for his burial in Canaan, emphasizing his faith in God's covenant promises, even in death. This passage serves as a pivotal bridge, connecting the patriarchal narratives to the formation of the nation of Israel.
