and

Isaac

and

Jacob

arise

unto

life

,

and

I

and

my

brethren

will

be

chiefs

,

even

your

sceptre

in

Israel

:

Levi

first

,

I

the

second

,

Joseph

third

,

Benjamin

fourth

,

Simeon

fifth

,

Issachar

sixth

,

and

so

all

in

order

.

And

the

Lord

blessed

Levi

;

the

Angel

of

the

Presence

,

me

;

the

powers

of

glory

,

Simeon

;

the

heaven

,

Reuben

;

the

earth

,

Issachar

;

the

sea

,

Zebulun

;

the

mountains

,

Joseph

;

the

,

Benjamin

;

the

,

Naphtali

;

the

sun

,

Gad

;

the

olive

,

Asher

:

and

there

shall

be

one

people

of

the

Lord

,

and

one

tongue

;

and

there

shall

no

more

be

a

spirit

of

deceit

of

Beliar

,

for

he

shall

be

cast

into

the

fire

for

ever

.

And

they

who

have

died

in

grief

shall

arise

in

joy

,

and

they

who

have

lived

in

poverty

for

the

Lord’s

sake

shall

be

made

rich

,

and

they

who

have

been

in

want

shall

be

filled

,

and

they

who

have

been

weak

shall

be

made

strong

,

and

they

who

have

been

put

to

death

for

the

Lord’s

sake

shall

awake

in

life

.

And

the

harts

of

Jacob

shall

run

in

joyfulness

,

and

the

eagles

of

Israel

shall

fly

in

gladness

;

but

the

ungodly

shall

lament

,

and

sinners

all

weep

,

and

all

the

people

shall

glorify

the

Lord

for

ever

.
