Genesis 49:13-21

13Zebulun will dwell by the seashore, and be by a harbor for ships— his distant border reaches Sidon.

14Issachar is a strong-boned donkey, lying down between two saddlebags.

15He saw that a resting place was good, and that the land was pleasant. He leaned his shoulder to bear a burden, and became a forced laborer.

16Dan will judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.

17Let Dan be a serpent beside a road, a viper beside a path, who strikes a horse’s heels, so that its rider falls backward.

18For your salvation I wait, Adonai!

19Gad—attackers will attack him, but he will attack their heels.

20Asher—rich is his food— he will provide delicacies fit for a king.

21Naphtali is a doe let loose, who offers words of beauty.
