Deuteronomy 33:22
Compare all
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.”  
22 And of Dan he said:
“Dan is a lion’s whelp;
aHe shall leap from Bashan.”  
23 And of Naphtali he said:
“O Naphtali, asatisfied with favor,
And full of the blessing of the Lord,
bPossess the west and the south.”  
24 And of Asher he said:
a“Asher is most blessed of sons;
Let him be favored by his brothers,
And let him bdip his foot in oil.

Deuteronomy 33:22

Dan is a lion's whelp—His proper settlement in the south of Canaan being too small, he by a sudden and successful irruption, established a colony in the northern extremity of the land. This might well be described as the leap of a young lion from the hills of Bashan.
