13 “Zebuluna shall dwell by the haven of the sea;
He shall become a haven for ships,
And his border shall badjoin Sidon.
He shall become a haven for ships,
And his border shall badjoin Sidon.
15 He saw that rest was good,
And that the land was pleasant;
He bowed ahis shoulder to bear a burden,
And became a band of slaves.
And that the land was pleasant;
He bowed ahis shoulder to bear a burden,
And became a band of slaves.
17 aDan shall be a serpent by the way,
A viper by the path,
That bites the horse’s heels
So that its rider shall fall backward.
A viper by the path,
That bites the horse’s heels
So that its rider shall fall backward.
