Genesis 49:10-12

Jacob Blesses His Sons

10 The m scepter shall not depart from Judah,
nor the ruler's staff n from between his feet,
until tribute comes to him; 1
and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.
11 Binding his foal to the vine
and his donkey's colt to the choice vine,
he has washed his garments in wine
and his vesture in the blood of grapes.
12 His o eyes are darker than wine,
and his teeth whiter than milk.
