Lion of Judah Ring

The Lion of Judah is a well known and very popular symbol. Where does it come from? It comes from the biblical blessing that Jakob (Yaakov) gave his sons before he died. To Judah, Jakob said: "…You are a Lion's cub Judah… Like a lion he crouches and lies down, like a lioness--who dares to rouse him?" (genesis 49:9)
