Jacob Blesses His Twelve Sons

¹⁵ And he saw that rest was good and the land was pleasing; so he let them put weights on his back and became a servant. ¹⁶ Dan will be the judge of his people, as one of the tribes of Israel. ¹⁷ May Dan be a snake in the way, a horned snake by the road, biting the horse's foot so that the horseman has a fall.
