Context of Genesis 49:18
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. I 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.
