Before he dies, Joseph tells his sons and brothers about the visions he saw. He saw twelve deer feeding. Nine of them were divided and scattered in the land, and then the other three were scattered as well.

He then saw a virgin born from Judah, wearing a linen garment, and from her came a spotless Lamb with something like a lion at his left hand. All the beasts rushed against the Lamb, and he overcame them, destroyed them and trod them underfoot, and the angels, mankind and all the earth rejoiced. Joseph says these things will happen in the last days. He tells his children to honour Judah and Levi, since the Lamb of God will arise from them, and says that his own kingdom among them will end while the Lamb's kingdom will never be shaken.
