For first, They are not strictly made out, from the Prophetical blessing of _Jacob_; for _Simeon_ and _Levi_ have distinct coats, that is, a Sword, and the two Tables, yet are they by _Jacob_ included in one Prophesie, _Simeon_ and _Levi_ are brethren, Instruments of cruelties are in their habitations. So _Joseph_ beareth an Ox, whereof notwithstanding there is no mention in this Prophesie; for therein it is said _Joseph_ is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; by which repitition are intimated the two Tribes descending from him, _Ephraim_ and _Manasses_; whereof notwithstanding _Ephraim_ only beareth an Ox: True it is, that many years after in the benediction of _Moses_, it is said of _Joseph_[SN: Deut. 33.], His glory is like the firstlings of his Bullock: and so we may concede, what _Vossius_ learnedly declareth, that the _Ægyptians_ represented _Joseph_, in the Symbole of an Ox; for thereby was best implied the dream of _Pharoah_, which he interpreted, the benefit by Agriculture, and provident provision of corn which he performed; and therefore did _Serapis_ bear a bushel upon his head. Again, If we take these two benedictions together, the resemblances are not appropriate, and _Moses_ therein conforms not unto _Jacob_: for that which in the Prophesie of _Jacob_ is appropriated unto one, is in the blessing of _Moses_ made common unto others. So whereas _Judah_ is compared unto a Lion by _Jacob_, _Judah_ is a Lions whelp, the same is applied unto _Dan_ by _Moses_, _Dan_ is a Lions whelp, he shall leap from _Bashan_, and also unto _Gad_; he dwelleth as a Lion. Thirdly, If a lion were the proper coat of _Judah_, yet were it not probably a Lion Rampant, as it is commonly described, but rather couchant or dormant, as some _Heralds_ and _Rabbins_ do determine; according to the letter of the Text, _Recumbens dormisti ut Leo_, He couched as a Lion, and as a young Lion, who shall rouse him?
