Genesis 49:29

27 “Benjamin is a ^aravenous wolf;
In the morning he shall devour the prey,
^bAnd at night he shall divide the spoil.”

28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke to them. And he blessed them; he blessed each one according to his own blessing.

Jacob’s Death and Burial

29 Then he charged them and said to them: “I ^aam to be gathered to my people; ^bbury me with my fathers ^cin the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,

30 in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre in the land of Canaan, ^awhich Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite as a possession for a burial place.

31 ^aThere they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife, ^bthere they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife, and there I buried Leah.
