17. His glory is like a firstborn bull,And his horns like the horns of the wild ox;Together with themHe shall push the peoplesTo the ends of the earth;They are the ten thousands of Ephraim,And they are the thousands of Manasseh.”
18. And of Zebulun he said:“Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out,And Issachar in your tents!
19. They shall call the peoples to the mountain;There they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness;For they shall partake of the abundance of the seasAnd of treasures hidden in the sand.”
20. And of Gad he said:“Blessed is he who enlarges Gad;He dwells as a lion,And tears the arm and the crown of his head.
21. He provided the first part for himself,Because a lawgiver’s portion was reserved there.He came with the heads of the people;He administered the justice of the Lord,And His judgments with Israel.”
22. And of Dan he said:“Dan is a lion’s whelp;He shall leap from Bashan.”
23. And of Naphtali he said:“O Naphtali, satisfied with favor,And full of the blessing of the Lord,Possess the west and the south.”
24. And of Asher he said:“Asher is most blessed of sons;Let him be favored by his brothers,And let him dip his foot in oil.
25. Your sandals shall be iron and bronze;As your days, so shall your strength be.
