Deuteronomy 33:20-26 New Century Version (NCV)

20. Moses said this about the people of Gad:“Praise God who gives Gad more land!Gad lives there like a lion,who tears off arms and heads.

21. They chose the best land for themselves.They received a large share, like that given to an officer.When the leaders of the people gathered,the people of Gad did what the Lord said was right,and they judged Israel fairly.”

22. Moses said this about the people of Dan:“Dan is like a lion’s cub,who jumps out of Bashan.”

23. Moses said this about the people of Naphtali:“Naphtali enjoys special kindnesses,and they are full of the Lord’s blessings.Take as your own the west and south.”

24. Moses said this about the people of Asher:“Asher is the most blessed of the sons;let him be his brothers’ favorite.Let him bathe his feet in olive oil.

25. Your gates will have locks of iron and bronze,and you will be strong as long as you live.

26. “There is no one like the God of Israel,who rides through the skies to help you,who rides on the clouds in his majesty.
