Genesis 49:13-21

13“Zebulun shall dwell by the haven of the sea; He shall become a haven for ships, And his border shall adjoin Sidon.

14“Issachar is a strong donkey, Lying down between two burdens;

15He saw that rest was good, And that the land was pleasant; He bowed his shoulder to bear a burden, And became a band of slaves.

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

17Dan shall be a serpent by the way, A viper by the path, That bites the horse’s heels So that its rider shall fall backward.

18I have waited for your salvation, O Lord!

19“Gad, a troop shall tramp upon him, But he shall triumph at last.

20“Bread from Asher shall be rich, And he shall yield royal dainties.

21“Naphtali is a deer let loose; He uses beautiful words.
