Ἰδού, ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω ὑμᾶς ὡς πρόβατα ἐν μέσῳ λύκων· γίνεσθε οὖν φρόνιμοι ὡς οἱ ὄφεις, καὶ ἀκέραιοι ὡς αἱ περιστεραί.

RBT Hebrew Literal:
Sheep within Wolves Clothing
Behold! I, Myself am sending away yourselves even as sheep within the middle of wolves, therefore become right-minded/prudent as the Serpents and unmixed/pure as the Doves.
Benjamin ("Son of the Right")

"Son/Builder of the Right is a wolf, he is tearing to pieces. In the Dawn he is eating a perpetual witness, and he is dividing the Dusk into plunder."

(Genesis 49:27 RBT)
Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves; be ye therefore discerning as serpents, and pure as doves.
LITV Translation:
Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore, be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
ESV Translation:
“Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.
