20. About the tribe of Gad he said,“Blessed is the one who gives the people of Gad more land.They wait there like a lion.They can tear off an arm or a head.

21. They chose the best land for themselves.Indeed, a commander’s piece of land was reserved for them.They were leaders of the peopleand did for Israel what the Lord considers fair and honorable.”

22. About the tribe of Dan he said,“The people of Dan are a lion cub.Out of Bashan they pounce ⌊on their enemies⌋.”

23. About the tribe of Naphtali he said,“The people of Naphtali enjoy the Lord’s favorand are filled with the Lord’s blessings.They will take possession of the lake and the land south of it.”

24. About the tribe of Asher he said,“The people of Asher are the most blessed of the sons of Israel.May they be the Israelites’ favorite tribeand wash their feet in olive oil.

25. May the locks and bolts of your gates be made of iron and copper.May your strength last as long as you live.

26. “There’s no one like your God, Jeshurun!He rides through the heavens to help you.In majesty he rides through the clouds.
