Genesis 49:13-21

13Zebulun will live by the shore of the sea. His town will be a safe place for ships to stay. His land will go as far as Sidon.

14Issachar is like a strong donkey that is lying down between two of its bags.

15He will see that he has a good place to live, with good land. Then he will agree to work hard. He will work like a slave for other people.

16Dan will be a ruler for his people. His descendants will be equal with the other tribes of Israel.

17He will be small and dangerous, like a snake that lies beside the road. He will be like a snake that bites the legs of horses so that the riders fall off.

18I trust you to save me from trouble, Lord.

19Robbers will attack Gad, but he will fight back against them.

20Asher will have much good food. It will be good enough for kings to eat.

21Naphtali is like a deer that runs freely and gives birth to beautiful babies.
