Genesis 49:16

Jacob Blesses His Twelve Sons

¹⁵ And he saw a resting-place that it was good, And the land that it was pleasant; And he bowed his shoulder to bear, And became a servant under taskwork. ¹⁶ Dan shall judge his people, As one of the tribes of Israel. ¹⁷ Dan shall be a serpent in the way, An adder in the path, That biteth the horse's heels, So that his rider falleth backward.
