There bthey shall offer sacrifices of righteousness;
For they shall partake of the abundance of the seas
And of treasures hidden in the sand.”
“Blessed is he who aenlarges Gad;
He dwells as a lion,
And tears the arm and the crown of his head.
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.”
“O Naphtali, asatisfied with favor,
And full of the blessing of the Lord,
bPossess the west and the south.”
