Context of Genesis 49:18
16“Dan shall judge 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. For Your salvation I wait, Lord. 19“As for Gad, a band of raiders shall attack him, But he will attack at their heels. 20“As for Asher, his food shall be rich, And he will yield royal delicacies.
