  1. Jesus is read as fulfilling Genesis 49:10

    Historic Christian readingMedium confidence

    Jacob's blessing promises that the scepter will not depart from Judah until the one to whom it belongs comes and the nations obey him. Revelation's Lion of the tribe of Judah and Hebrews' note that Jesus descended from Judah show the New Testament drawing on Judah's royal line, though neither quotes this verse.

    Evidence:
    Other responsible views
    • Fulfilled in David's dynasty: Many read the blessing as fulfilled in the kingship of David's house, with the messianic sense as its fullest reach; the Hebrew of the phrase often rendered until Shiloh comes is itself uncertain.
