Blessing on Zebulun and Issachar
18 Of Zebulun he said:
“Rejoice, Zebulun, when you go outside,
and Issachar, when you are in your tents.
19 They will summon peoples to the mountain,
there they will sacrifice proper[a] sacrifices;
for they will enjoy[b] the abundance of the seas,
and the hidden treasures of the shores.”[c]
Blessing on Gad
20 Of Gad he said:
