Genesis 49:9-10

9 Judah 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?
10 The ^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 24:9

9 He crouched, he lay down like a lion
and ^flike a lioness; who will rouse him up?
^gBlessed are those who bless you,
and cursed are those who curse you.”

Hebrews 7:14

14 For it is evident that our Lord was descended ^hfrom Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.
