Genesis 49:8a - Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise:
A play on words of Judah's name, which means "praise." Throughout the chapter Jacob transfers his sons' names into their blessings.
"Not merely the praised one, but he for whom Jehovah is praised." (The Preacher's Complete Homiletic Commentary). Fulfilled of course in Jesus Christ, Luke 19:37-40, etc.
