Context of Genesis 49:18
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. For 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.
