Genesis 49:13-21
13“1Zebulun will reside at the seashore; And he shall be 2a harbor for ships, And his flank shall be toward Sidon.
14“Issachar is a 3strong donkey, 4Lying down between the sheepfolds.15When he saw that a resting place was good And that the land was pleasant, He bowed his shoulder to carry burdens, And became a slave at forced labor.
16“5Dan shall 6judge his people, As one of the tribes of Israel.17Dan shall be a serpent in the way, A horned viper in the path, That bites the horse’s heels, So that its rider falls backward.187For Your salvation I wait, Lord.
19“8As for Gad, a band of raiders shall attack him, But he will attack at their 9heels.
20“1011As for 12Asher, his 13food shall be 14rich, And he will yield royal delicacies.
21“15Naphtali is a doe let loose; He utters beautiful words.
