Genesis 49:16

Jacob Blesses His Twelve Sons

¹⁵ And he saw the rest that it was good, And the land that it was pleasant; And he bowed his shoulder to bear, And was a tributary servant. ¹⁶ Dan will judge his people, As another of the tribes of Israel. ¹⁷ Dan will be a serpent on the way, A horned snake on the path, Which biteth the horse's heels, So that the rider falleth backwards.
