where I tell you to live.
Stay in this land for a while,
and I will be with you
and will bless you.
For to you and your descendants
I will give all these lands
and will confirm the oath
I swore to your father Abraham.
I will make your descendants
as numerous as the stars in the sky
and will give them all these lands,
and through your offspring
all nations on earth will be blessed"

Genesis 35:10-12
JACOB NAMED ISRAEL
A NATION AND A COMMUNITY OF NATIONS
KINGS WILL COME FROM YOU
God said to him, “Your name is Jacob,
but you will no longer be called Jacob;
your name will be Israel.”
So he named him Israel.
And God said to him,
“I am God Almighty;
be fruitful and increase in number.
A nation and a community of nations
will come from you,
and kings will be among your descendants.
The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac
I also give to you,
and I will give this land
to your descendants after you.”

Genesis 49:8-10
JUDAH IS THE FOURTH SON OF ISRAEL
BORN TO THE MATRIARCH LEAH
THE SCEPTER WILL NOT DEPART FROM JUDAH
THE OBEDIENCE OF THE NATIONS IS HIS
“Judah, your brothers will praise you;
your hand will be on the neck of your enemies;
your father’s sons will bow down to you.
You are a lion’s cub, Judah;
you return from the prey, my son.
Like a lion he crouches and lies down,
like a lioness—who dares to rouse him?
The scepter will not depart from Judah,
nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,
until he to whom it belongs shall come
and the obedience of the nations shall be his.”

EVERY RULER WILL COME
FROM THE TRIBE OF JUDAH

the cornerstone,
from him the tent peg,
from him the battle bow,
from him every ruler.”

VENGEANCE AND ATONEMENT
THE LAND AND GOD'S PEOPLE

the blood of his servants;

and make atonement
for his land and people

Numbers 23:9-10
ISRAEL DISTINGUISHED FROM THE NATIONS
FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS
“From the rocky peaks I see them,
from the heights I view them.
I see a people who live apart
and do not consider themselves one of the nations.
Who can count the dust of Jacob
or number even a fourth of Israel?
Let me die the death of the righteous,
and may my final end be like theirs!”

Numbers 23:21-24
THE SHOUT OF THE KING
THE STRENGTH OF A WILD OX
ISRAELITES RISE   
LIKE A LIONESS AND A LION
“No misfortune is seen in Jacob,
no misery observed in Israel.
The Lord their God is with them;
the shout of the King is among them.
God brought them out of Egypt;
they have the strength of a wild ox.
There is no divination against Jacob,
no evil omens against Israel.
It will now be said of Jacob
and of Israel,
‘See what God has done!’
The people rise like a lioness;
they rouse themselves like a lion
that does not rest till it devours its prey
and drinks the blood of its victims.”

Numbers 24:5-7
ISRAEL'S DWELLING PLACES
ISRAEL'S KINGDOM
WILL BE EXALTED
“How beautiful are your tents, Jacob,
your dwelling places, Israel!
Like valleys they spread out,
like gardens beside a river,
like aloes planted by the Lord,
like cedars beside the waters.
Water will flow from their buckets;
their seed will have abundant water.
Their king will be greater than Agag;
their kingdom will be exalted.”

Numbers 24:8-9
HOSTILE NATIONS ARE DEVOURED BY ISRAEL
LIKE A LION AND A LIONESS
“God brought them out of Egypt;
they have the strength of a wild ox.
They devour hostile nations
and break their bones in pieces;
with their arrows they pierce them.
Like a lion they crouch and lie down,
like a lioness—who dares to rouse them?
“May those who bless you be blessed
and those who curse you be cursed!”

Numbers 24:17-18
A STAR AND A SCEPTER
WILL RISE OUT OF ISRAEL
“I see him, but not now;
I behold him, but not near.
A star will come out of Jacob;
a scepter will rise out of Israel.
He will crush the foreheads of Moab,
the skulls of all the people of Sheth.
Edom will be conquered;
Seir, his enemy, will be conquered,
but Israel will grow strong.”

the God of Israel,
under whose wings
you have come to take refuge.”

Job 12:13-25
GOD MAKES NATIONS GREAT,
AND DESTOYS THEM
HE OVERTHROWS OFFICIALS
LONG ESTABLISHED
“To God belong wisdom and power;
counsel and understanding are his.
What he tears down cannot be rebuilt;
those he imprisons cannot be released.
If he holds back the waters, there is drought;
if he lets them loose, they devastate the land.
To him belong strength and insight;
both deceived and deceiver are his.
He leads rulers away stripped
and makes fools of judges.
He takes off the shackles put on by kings
and ties a loincloth around their waist.
He leads priests away stripped
and overthrows officials long established.
He silences the lips of trusted advisers
and takes away the discernment of elders.
He pours contempt on nobles
and disarms the mighty.
He reveals the deep things of darkness
and brings utter darkness into the light.
He makes nations great, and destroys them;
he enlarges nations, and disperses them.
He deprives the leaders of the earth of their reason;
he makes them wander in a trackless waste.
They grope in darkness with no light;
he makes them stagger like drunkards.”

Psalm 22:27-28
ALL NATIONS WILL TURN TO GOD

and all the families of the nations
will bow down before him,
for dominion belongs to the Lord
and he rules over the nations.

for the nations,
that my salvation may reach
to the ends of the earth”

THE CITY OF THE LORD
ZION
THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL
“Your gates will always stand open,
they will never be shut, day or night,
so that people may bring you
the wealth of the nations—
their kings led in triumphal procession.
For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you
will perish;
it will be utterly ruined.
The glory of Lebanon will come to you,
the juniper, the fir and the cypress together,
to adorn my sanctuary;
and I will glorify the place for my feet.
The children of your oppressors
will come bowing before you;
all who despise you
will bow down at your feet
and will call you the City of the Lord,
Zion of the Holy One of Israel.”

that will not be forgotten”

from all the places where they were scattered
on a day of clouds and darkness.

and gather them from the countries,
and I will bring them into their own land.
I will pasture them
on the mountains of Israel,
in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land.
I will tend them in a good pasture,
and the mountain heights of Israel
will be their grazing land.
There they will lie down in good grazing land,
and there they will feed in a rich pasture
on the mountains of Israel’”

I gave to my servant Jacob,
the land where your ancestors lived.
They and their children
and their children’s children
will live there forever,
and David my servant
will be their prince forever.
I will make a covenant of peace with them;
it will be an everlasting covenant.
I will establish them and increase their numbers,
and I will put my sanctuary among them forever.

when my sanctuary is among them forever.’”

to the mountain of the Lord,
to the temple of the God of Jacob.

He will proclaim peace to the nations.
His rule will extend from sea to sea
and from the River
to the ends of the earth
