Genesis 49:13

Compare all

11 Binding his donkey to the vine,
And his donkey’s colt to the choice vine,
He washed his garments in wine,
And his clothes in the blood of grapes.

12 His eyes are darker than wine,
And his teeth whiter than milk.

13 “Zebulun^a shall dwell by the haven of the sea;
He shall become a haven for ships,
And his border shall ^badjoin Sidon.

14 “Issachar^a is a strong donkey,
Lying down between two burdens;

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.
