Genesis 49:11-17 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

11. Tying his young colt to the vineyard, and his donkey, O my son, to the vine, he will wash his robe in wine, and his cloak in the blood of the grape.

12. His eyes are more beautiful than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk.

13. Zebulun will live at the seashore and by the outpost of ships, reaching as far as Sidon.

14. Issachar will be a strong donkey, reclining between the borders.

15. He saw that rest would be good, and that the land was excellent. And so he bent his shoulder to carry, and he became a servant under tribute.

16. Dan will judge his people just like any other tribe in Israel.

17. Let Dan be a snake in the way, a viper in the path, biting the hooves of horses, so that his rider may fall backward.
