Deuteronomy 33:19

Deuteronomy 33:19

17 His glory is like a ^afirstborn bull,
And his horns like the ^bhorns of the wild ox;
Together with them
^cHe shall push the peoples
To the ends of the earth;
^dThey are the ten thousands of Ephraim,
And they are the thousands of Manasseh.”

18 And of Zebulun he said:
^a“Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out,
And Issachar in your tents!

19 They shall ^acall the peoples to the mountain;
There ^bthey shall offer sacrifices of righteousness;
For they shall partake of the abundance of the seas
And of treasures hidden in the sand.”

20 And of Gad he said:
“Blessed is he who ^aenlarges Gad;
He dwells as a lion,
And tears the arm and the crown of his head.

21 ^aHe provided the first part for himself,
Because a lawgiver’s portion was reserved there.
^bHe came with the heads of the people;
He administered the justice of the Lord,
And His judgments with Israel.”
