OET interlinear GEN 49:1

uW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠יִּקְרָ֥א יַעֲקֹ֖ב אֶל־בָּנָ֑י⁠ו

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_called Yaakob to/towards sons_of,his and=he/it_said gather_around so,that_I_may_tell to/for=you(pl) DOM which/who he/it_called/named ,you(pl) in=end/latter the=days )

The events in chapter 49 may have occurred on the same day as the events in chapter 48, or not very long after that. Consider again how you translated called for in the book of Genesis. See 12:18; 14:14; 20:2, 8–9; 24:57–58; 26:9; 27:1, 42; 28:1; 31:4; 39:14; 41:8, 14; 46:33; 47:29; 49:1.

Much of what Jacob says to his sons in verses 1–27 is Hebrew poetry, which is characterized by the use of parallelisms and metaphors to emphasize important points. Many translations put these verses in poetry format (starting here); many others use regular paragraph formatting. For a complete list of verses that some translations treat as poetry in the book of Genesis, see the introduction to the book. Alternate translation: [Gather yourselves together before me]

וְ⁠אַגִּ֣ידָה לָ⁠כֶ֔ם

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_called Yaakob to/towards sons_of,his and=he/it_said gather_around so,that_I_may_tell to/for=you(pl) DOM which/who he/it_called/named ,you(pl) in=end/latter the=days )

Alternate translation: [and I will declare to you] or [so that I can inform you]

אֵ֛ת אֲשֶׁר־יִקְרָ֥א אֶתְ⁠כֶ֖ם

DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_called Yaakob to/towards sons_of,his and=he/it_said gather_around so,that_I_may_tell to/for=you(pl) DOM which/who he/it_called/named ,you(pl) in=end/latter the=days )

Much of what Jacob prophesies in this chapter about his sons also applies to their descendants. Some translation teams may prefer to put that information in a footnote rather than make it explicit in the text. Also see how you translated meet in Genesis 42:4, 38.

In this context, this phrase refers to a period of years in the future. Consider what is the best way to communicate that in your language. Alternate translation: [in the days ahead] or [in future days]
