20“Asher’s food shall be rich, and he shall yield royal delicacies. 19“Raiders shall raid Gad, but he shall raid at their heels. 17Dan shall be a serpent in the way, a viper by the path, that bites the horse’s heels so that his rider falls backward. 16“Dan shall judge his people as one of the tribes of Israel. 15He saw that a resting place was good, and that the land was pleasant, so he bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant at forced labor. 14“Issachar is a strong donkey, crouching between the sheepfolds. 13“Zebulun shall dwell at the shore of the sea he shall become a haven for ships, and his border shall be at Sidon. 12His eyes are darker than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk. 11Binding his foal to the vine and his donkey’s colt to the choice vine, he has washed his garments in wine and his vesture in the blood of grapes. He stooped down he crouched as a lion and as a lioness who dares rouse him? 10The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until tribute comes to him and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples. 9Judah is a lion’s cub from the prey, my son, you have gone up. 8“Judah, your brothers shall praise you your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies your father’s sons shall bow down before you. 7Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce, and their wrath, for it is cruel! I will divide them in Jacob and scatter them in Israel. For in their anger they killed men, and in their willfulness they hamstrung oxen. 6Let my soul come not into their council O my glory, be not joined to their company. 4Unstable as water, you shall not have preeminence, because you went up to your father’s bed then you defiled it-he went up to my couch! 5“Simeon and Levi are brothers weapons of violence are their swords. 3“Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the firstfruits of my strength, preeminent in dignity and preeminent in power. 2“Assemble and listen, O sons of Jacob, listen to Israel your father.
