TSNTyndale Study Notes:

49:1-28 Jacob, by faith and as God’s spokesman, looked forward to Israel’s settlement in the land, and beyond that to the glorious future. Here at the end of the patriarchal age, he foretold what would happen to each tribe as he evaluated his sons one by one, just as Noah had done at the end of the primeval era (cp. 9:25-27). The character and acts of each ancestor affected the lives of his descendants (Exod 20:5-6; 34:6-7; Num 14:18; Jer 32:18).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

אַל תָּבֹ֣א נַפְשִׁ֔⁠י

not enter soul,my

Here Jacob uses the phrase my soul to refer to himself and to emphasize how strongly he feels about what he is saying. Consider what is the best way to communicate that in your language. Alternate translation: “Do not ever let me” or “May I never”

בְּ⁠סֹדָ⁠ם֙ אַל־תָּבֹ֣א

in/on/at/with,council,their not enter

In verses 5-7, Jacob is probably referring to the time when Simeon and Levi killed all the males in the city of Shechem out of revenge (Genesis 34:25-26, 30). Jacob was very upset that they did that. Alternate translation: “take part in their evil plans” or “participate with them when you plan evil things!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

בִּ⁠קְהָלָ֖⁠ם אַל תֵּחַ֣ד כְּבֹדִ֑⁠י

in/on/at/with,assembly,their not joined glory,my

This clause forms a parallelism with the previous clause and emphasizes that Jacob is upset and does not want to participate with these two sons in their evil behavior. Consider what is the best way to translate that in your language. Alternate translation: “Do not let my honor be associated with your evil plans,” or “I never want to be linked with their evil plans,” or “I refuse to make evil plans with them”

כִּ֤י בְ⁠אַפָּ⁠ם֙ הָ֣רְגוּ אִ֔ישׁ

that/for/because/then/when in/on/at/with,anger,their killed (a)_man

The phrase a man probably refers collectively here to all the men whom these two sons killed in the city of Shechem (Gen 34:25-26, 30). Alternate translation: “because you became angry and murdered many men”

וּ⁠בִ⁠רְצֹנָ֖⁠ם עִקְּרוּ שֽׁוֹר

and,in/on/at/with,whim,their hamstrung oxen

This may have happened during the time that Simeon and Levi took revenge on the people of Shechem. Alternate translation: “and just to please yourselves, you crippled some oxen so they could not walk.” or “and you cut the leg tendons of some oxen just for the fun of it.”
