Genesis 49:9-10
9Judah is aa lion’s cub;from the prey, my son, you have gone up.
bHe stooped down; he crouched as a lion
and as a lioness; who dares rouse him?
10The cscepter shall not depart from Judah,
nor the ruler’s staff dfrom between his feet,
until tribute comes to him; ▼
▼By a slight revocalization; a slight emendation yields (compare Septuagint, Syriac, Targum) until he comes to whom it belongs; Hebrew until Shiloh comes, or until he comes to Shiloh
and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.
Numbers 23:24
24Behold, a people! fAs a lioness it rises upand as a lion it lifts itself;
git does not lie down until it has devoured the prey
and drunk the blood of the slain.”
Numbers 24:9
9He crouched, he lay down like a lionand hlike a lioness; who will rouse him up?
iBlessed are those who bless you,
and cursed are those who curse you.”
Revelation of John 5:5
5And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, jthe Lion kof the tribe of Judah, lthe Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.”
