19 They will summon peoples to the mountain(A)
    and there offer the sacrifices of the righteous;(B)
they will feast on the abundance of the seas,(C)
    on the treasures hidden in the sand.”

“Blessed is he who enlarges Gad’s domain!(E)

    he carried out the Lord’s righteous will,(H)
    and his judgments concerning Israel.”
