  ¹Jacob called to his sons, and said: “Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which will happen to you in the days to come.

  ²Assemble yourselves, and hear, you sons of Jacob. Listen to Israel, your father.

  ³“Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, excelling in dignity, and excelling in power.

  ⁴Boiling over like water, you shall not excel, because you went up to your father’s bed, then defiled it. He went up to my couch.

  ⁵“Simeon and Levi are brothers. Their swords are weapons of violence.

  ⁶My soul, don’t come into their council. My glory, don’t be united to their assembly; for in their anger they killed men. In their self-will they hamstrung cattle.

  ⁷Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel. I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.

  ⁸“Judah, your brothers will praise you. Your hand will be on the neck of your enemies. Your father’s sons will bow down before you.

  ⁹Judah is a lion’s cub. From the prey, my son, you have gone up. He stooped down, he crouched as a lion, as a lioness. Who will rouse him up?

  ¹⁰The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs. The obedience of the peoples will be to him.

  ¹¹Binding his foal to the vine, his donkey’s colt to the choice vine, he has washed his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes.

  ¹²His eyes will be red with wine, his teeth white with milk.

  ¹³“Zebulun will dwell at the haven of the sea. He will be for a haven of ships. His border will be on Sidon.

  ¹⁴“Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between the saddlebags.

  ¹⁵He saw a resting place, that it was good, the land, that it was pleasant. He bows his shoulder to the burden, and becomes a servant doing forced labor.

  ¹⁶“Dan will judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.

  ¹⁷Dan will be a serpent on the trail, an adder in the path, that bites the horse’s heels, so that his rider falls backward.

  ¹⁸I have waited for your salvation, LORD.

  ¹⁹“A troop will press on Gad, but he will press on their heel.

  ²⁰“Asher’s food will be rich. He will produce royal dainties.

  ²¹“Naphtali is a doe set free, who bears beautiful fawns.

  ²²“Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine by a spring. His branches run over the wall.

  ²³The archers have severely grieved him, shot at him, and persecuted him:

  ²⁴But his bow remained strong. The arms of his hands were made strong, by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, (from there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel),

  ²⁵even by the God of your father, who will help you, by the Almighty, who will bless you, with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies below, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb.

  ²⁶The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of my ancestors, above the boundaries of the ancient hills. They will be on the head of Joseph, on the crown of the head of him who is separated from his brothers.

  ²⁷“Benjamin is a ravenous wolf. In the morning he will devour the prey. At evening he will divide the plunder.”

  ²¹When eight days were fulfilled for the circumcision of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

  ²²When the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord

  ²³(as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”),

  ²⁴and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, “A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.”

  ²⁵Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him.

  ²⁶It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.

  ²⁷He came in the Spirit into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Jesus, that they might do concerning him according to the custom of the law,

  ²⁸then he received him into his arms and blessed God, and said,

  ²⁹“Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace;

  ³⁰for my eyes have seen your salvation,

  ³¹which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;

  ³²a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.”

  ³³Joseph and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him.

  ³⁴Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.

  ³⁵Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”

  ³⁶There was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,

  ³⁷and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who didn’t depart from the temple, worshiping with fastings and petitions night and day.

  ³⁸Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for redemption in Jerusalem.

  ³⁹When they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.

  ⁴⁰The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
