A Reading from the Book of Genesis   49: 2, 8-10

49:2 Gather together and listen, O sons of Jacob. Listen to Israel, your father.
49:8 Judah, your brothers will praise you. Your hand will be at the necks of your enemies; the sons of your father will reverence you.
49:9 Judah is a lion’s young. You have gone up to the prey, my son. While resting, you have lain like a lion. And just like a lioness, who would rouse him?
49:10 The scepter from Judah and the leader from his thigh will not be taken away, until he who will be sent arrives, and he will be the expectation of Gentiles.
