Note. The prophetic addresses by Israel to each of his twelve sons

are called in scripture, "blessings." In the cases of "Reu-

ben," " 'Simeon," and " Levi," however, and even in that

of "

'Benjamin," the expressions used are rather those of

denunciation.

Nevertheless to these tribes, with the exception of "Simeon," the

positive "blessing" is pronounced by Moses. (Deut. xxxiii.)

Notwithstanding the merited chastisements to be incurred by

some of the brethren's descendants, each was to be the stock

of a distinct tribe in the future divinely-appointed national

confederacy.

Hence, "all these are the twelve tribes of Israel. And this is it,
that their father spake unto them, and blessed them, every one,
according to his blessing, he blessed them." (Gen. xlix. 28.)
