The Lion of the Tribe of Judah
The scepter shall not depart from Judah...
(Genesis 49:9-10).
The Emblem of JerusalemConcerning the EMBLEMS
Judah is a lion's whelp; On pray, my son, have you grown. He crouches, lies down like a lion, like the king of beasts...who dares rouse him? The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor the ruler's staff from between his feet; So that tribute shall come to him. And the homage of peoples be his.
