Genesis 49:13-21

13“Zebulun shall dwell at the seashore; And he shall be a haven (landing place) for ships, And his flank shall be toward Sidon.

14“Issachar is [like] a strong-boned donkey, Crouching down between the sheepfolds.

15When he saw that the resting place was good And that the land was pleasant, He bowed his shoulder to bear [burdens], And became a servant at forced labor.

16“Dan shall judge his people, As one of the tribes of Israel.

17Dan shall be a [venomous] serpent in the way, A fanged snake in the path, That bites the horse’s heels, So that his rider falls backward.

18I wait for Your salvation, O Lord.

19“As for Gad—a raiding troop shall raid him, But he shall raid at their heels and assault them [victoriously].

20“Asher’s food [supply] shall be rich and bountiful, And he shall yield and deliver royal delights.

21“Naphtali is a doe let loose, [a swift warrior,] Which yields branched antlers (eloquent words).
