Genesis 49:26-28

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

    on the brow of him who was set apart from his brothers.

²⁷Benjamin is a ravenous wolf,

and at evening dividing the spoil.”

²⁸All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father said to them when he blessed them, blessing each one of them with a suitable blessing.
