Genesis 49:1-2, 8-10“Judah, shall your brothers praise —your hand on the neck of your enemies.”
The text speaks of descendants; it prefigures Christ. The homage paid to ancestors is listening to the Heart of God.
Matthew 1:1-17
“Jesus Christ, the son of David, son of Abraham”
Jesus is of the lineage of David and Abraham.
