Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 49:11-12

Genesis 49:11-12. Binding his foal unto the vine, &c.— In the 8th and 9th verses the pre-eminence and military power of Judah is predicted; in the 10th, the continuance of that power till a certain period; and in these two verses, the fertility of the land which Judah should inherit, and wherein he should exercise this power, is described, under such images as particularly correspond to that part of Judea which fell to the lot of the tribe of Judah. Dr. Durell translates thus: "Tied to the... read more

Genesis 49:13. Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea— As Jacob mentions his sons according to seniority, in regard to their respective mothers, this would have been, according to that method, Issachar's place. Though it may not be thought necessary to assign a reason why Zebulun has here, in Deu 33:18 and Jos 10:17 the precedence; it seems not improbable, that this distinction was grounded on the same principles as that of Jacob, Moses, Ephraim, &c. who, in similar circumstances, and... read more

14. Jacob’s blessing of his sons 49:1-28Having blessed Pharaoh (Genesis 47:7-10) and Ephraim and Manasseh (Genesis 48:15-20), Jacob next blessed all 12 of his sons and foretold what would become of each of them and their descendants. He disqualified Reuben, Simeon, and Levi from leadership and gave that blessing to Judah. He granted the double portion to Joseph. This chapter is the last one in Genesis that gives the destinies of the family members of Abraham’s chosen line. It contains... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Genesis 49:8-12

Judah. Judah possessed a lion-like nature. As such he became the leader of the other tribes (Genesis 43:3-10; Judges 1:1-2; Judges 3:9; Judges 20:18; etc.). Through him came David and then Messiah, "the Lion of the Tribe of Judah" (Revelation 5:5). Judah led the other tribes in the march through the wilderness (Numbers 2:1-3) and in the monarchy.The scepter (Genesis 49:10) was and is the symbol of royal command, the right to rule. Judah was to exercise leadership among the tribes until Shiloh... read more

These verses contain Jacob’s shorter blessings on the other sons except Joseph and Benjamin, whose blessings follow these."True to the poetic qualities of the text, the images of the destiny of the remaining sons are, in most cases, based on a wordplay of the son’s name. The central theme uniting each image is that of prosperity." [Note: Ibid.] Zebulun (Genesis 49:13) later obtained territory between the Mediterranean Sea and the Sea of Galilee. This was a thriving commercial area, though... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 49:1-33

Jacob Blesses his Twelve SonsIt is generally considered that in its present form, this chapter gives us indeed the last utterances of the dying patriarch respecting the future of his sons, but with additions and developments of a later date. As it stands we have not the broken utterances of a dying man, but an elaborate piece of work full of word-plays and metaphors (see on Genesis 49:8, Genesis 49:13, Genesis 49:16), and of those parallelisms in the vv. which are the chief feature of Hebrew... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Genesis 49:11

(11) Binding his foal . . . —Having declared the spiritual prerogative of Judah, the patriarch now foretells that his land would be so rich in vineyards that the traveller would tie his ass to the vine, as the tree abundant everywhere.Choice vine is, literally, the vine of Sorek, a kind much valued, as bearing a purple berry, small but luscious, and destitute of stones. The abundance of grapes is next hyperbolically described as so great that their juice would be used like water for the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Genesis 49:12

(12) His eyes shall be red with wine.—The word rendered red occurs only here, and is rendered in the Versions, bright, sparkling, and in the Vulg., beautiful. They also give the word rendered in our Version with a comparative force, which seems to be right: “His eyes shall be brighter than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk.” The words do not refer to Judah’s person, but describe the prosperity of his descendants, whose temporal welfare will show itself in their bright and healthy... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Genesis 49:13

(13) Zebulun . . . —“Sea” is plural in the Heb., and is rightly so rendered in the Syriac. The territory of the tribe lay upon the inland sea of Gennesaret, but did not extend to the shore of the Mediterranean. We do not know of any literal fulfilment of the prediction, but Moses also speaks of Zebulun and Issachar as tribes that would “suck of the abundance of the seas.” It is very possible that, living in the neighbourhood of the Phœnicians, they took part in maritime pursuits; and thus the... read more

Genesis 49:4 The verse which Ruskin once, in a mood of depression, thought was most suitable for his own epitaph. 'The public men of the times which followed the Restoration were by no means deficient in courage or ability; and some kinds of talent appear to have been developed amongst them to a remarkable degree.... Their power of reading things of high import, in signs which to others were invisible or unintelligible, resembled magic. But the curse of Reuben was upon them all: "Unstable as... read more
