He shall become a haven for ships,
And his border shall badjoin Sidon.
And that the land was pleasant;
He bowed ahis shoulder to bear a burden,
And became a band of slaves.
A viper by the path,
That bites the horse’s heels
So that its rider shall fall backward.

Genesis 49:14
Issachar is a strong ass, couching down between two burdens - The men of that tribe shall be strong and industrious, fit for and inclined to labour, particularly the toil of husbandry, like the ass that patiently carries his burden. Issachar submitted to two burdens, tillage and tribute.
