New English Translation

27 Benjamin is a ravenous wolf;
in the morning devouring the prey,
and in the evening dividing the plunder.”

28 These[a] are the twelve tribes of Israel. This is what their father said to them when he blessed them. He gave each of them an appropriate blessing.[b]

29 Then he instructed them,[c] “I am about to go[d] to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave in the field of Ephron the Hittite.
