(KJV.) GENESIS 49:25-29
The Death of Jacob.
(25) Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above; blessings of the deep that lieth under blessings of the breasts, and of the womb;
(26) The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
(27) Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf, in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.
(28) 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
(29) And he charged them and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite.
ADDENDUM
Can you imagine, the reason why Jacob emphasized his children's behavioral attitudes before his death?
