Genesis 49:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 49:17

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.

16 “Dan^a shall judge his people
As one of the tribes of Israel.

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.

18 ^aI have waited for your salvation, O Lord!

19 “Gad,¹^a a troop shall tramp upon him,
But he shall triumph at last.
