Genesis 49:10

לֹא יָסוּר שֵׁבֶט מִ יהוּדָה וּ מְחֹקֵק מִ בֵּין רַגְלָיו עַד כִּי יָבֹא שׁילה וְ לֹו יִקְּהַת עַמִּים
The stick-branch1362 is not turning aside from Cast, and he-who-inscribes from between his feet-pair, until that he is coming in, Shiloh.1363 And to-himself is the obedience of peoples.
1362

Strong’s #7462, shebet. Rod, stick. It is the mark of authority and rule; from a root meaning to branch off. It is used to represent tribes. This is the counter-part to the matteh, the staff, which is symbolic of support, traveling, shepherding and is also used to represent tribes.
