Comparative Study between the Bible versus the Quran (49) – A: The first part
(Chapter 49:1-10)

The Old Testament Verses from 1-10 are talking about Joseph accused his brothers of thieving his silver cup.
The New Testament Verses from 1-10 are talking about Jesus appeared first to Mary Magdalene who did not found him in his grave (See: B: The second part).
The Noble Quran Verses from 1-10 are talking about Allah prohibits the immorality and warns us to fear Him; He is Hearer of our sayings Knower, of our deeds. Those who adopt the ethics and morality will have forgiveness of their sins in the and abundant reward in Paradise. Allah is oft-forgiving, most merciful; Allah is just and He loves those who are fair and just (see: C: The third part - I and II).

Old Testament:

Chapter 49 in the Old Testament is Genesis 49; it is composed of 33 verses.
In the previous article, The Middle Verse in Bible versus Quran - Chapter (49), Jacob said that Dan, which is one of Israel's Tribes, is a Serpent that Bites the Horse Heels. On the other hand the Bible says that the Serpent is a Detested Symbol of Satan and has been Cursed by God

In verses from 1-10 Jacob is talking about the tribes Reuben, Simeon and Levi and Judah. Jacob said:
1] Reuben is unstable as water shall not excel because he went up to his father's bed and defiled it
2] the anger of Simeon and Levi is Cursed
3] Simeon and Levi are instruments of cruelty
4] the wrath of Simeon and Levi is malicious
5] Simeon and Levi are against Jacob' Soul and honor
6] Judah is a lion's whelp: he couched as a lion

Genesis 49 (King James Version)

1] And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.

2] Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.

3] Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:

4] Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch.

5] Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.

6] O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.

7] Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.

8] Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee.

9] Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?

10] The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
