Judah / thy brethren shall praise the / & thine hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies / & thy fathers children shall stoop unto thee. Judah is a lions whelp. From spoil my son thou art come an high: he laid him down and couched himself as a lion / and as a lioness. Who dare stir him up? The sceptre shall not depart from Judah / nor a ruler from between his legs / until Silo come / unto whom the people shall hearken. He shall bind his fool unto the vine / and his asses colt unto the vine branch / and shall wash his garment in wine and his mantel in the blood of grapes / his eyes are ruddier than wine / and his teeth whit•er then milk.
Iuda / thy brethern shall prayse the / & thine hande shalbe in the necke of thyne enimies / & thy fathers childern shall stoupe vnto the. Iuda is a lions whelpe. Frō spoyle my sonne thou art come an hye: he layde him downe and couched himselfe as a lion / and as a lionesse. Who dare stere him vp? The sceptre shall not departe from Iuda / nor a ruelar from betwene his legges / vntill Silo come / vnto whome the people shall herken. He shall bynde his fole vnto the vine / and his asses colt vnto the vyne braunche / ād shall wash his garment in wyne and his mantell in the bloud of grapes / his eyes are roudier than wyne / ād his teeth whit•er then mylke.
Zebulun shall dwell in the haven of the see and in the port of ships / & shall reach unto Sidon.
Zabulon shall dwell in the hauen of the see and in the porte of shippes / & shall reache vnto Sidon.
Issachar is a strong ass / he couched him down between .ij. borders / and saw that rest was good and the land that it was pleasant / and bowed his shoulder to bear / and became a servant unto tribute.
