17“As the firstborn of his ox, majesty is his,
         And his horns are the horns of the wild ox;
         With them he will push the peoples,
         All at once, to the ends of the earth.
         And those are the ten thousands of Ephraim,
         And those are the thousands of Manasseh.”

      18Of Zebulun he said,

         And, Issachar, in your tents.

19“They will call peoples to the mountain;
         There they will offer righteous sacrifices;
         For they will draw out the abundance of the seas,
         And the hidden treasures of the sand.”

      20Of Gad he said,
         “Blessed is the one who enlarges Gad;
         He lies down as a lion,
         And tears the arm, also the crown of the head.

21“Then he provided the first part for himself,
         For there the ruler’s portion was reserved;
         And he came with the leaders of the people;
         He executed the justice of the LORD,
         And His ordinances with Israel.”

      22Of Dan he said,
         “Dan is a lion’s whelp,
         That leaps forth from Bashan.”

      23Of Naphtali he said,
         “O Naphtali, satisfied with favor,
         And full of the blessing of the LORD,
         Take possession of the sea and the south.”

      24Of Asher he said,
         “More blessed than sons is Asher;
         May he be favored by his brothers,
         And may he dip his foot in oil.

25“Your locks will be iron and bronze,
         And according to your days, so will your leisurely walk be.

26“There is none like the God of Jeshurun,
         Who rides the heavens to your help,
         And through the skies in His majesty.

27“The eternal God is a dwelling place,
         And underneath are the everlasting arms;
         And He drove out the enemy from before you,
         And said, ‘Destroy!’

28“So Israel dwells in security,
         The fountain of Jacob secluded,
         In a land of grain and new wine;
         His heavens also drop down dew.

29“Blessed are you, O Israel;
         Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD,
         Who is the shield of your help
         And the sword of your majesty!
         So your enemies will cringe before you,
         And you will tread upon their high places.”
