19 They shall call peoples to their mountain;
    there they offer right sacrifices;
for they suck the affluence of the seas
    and the hidden treasures of the sand.”

20 And of Gad he said,

“Blessed be he who enlarges Gad!
    Gad couches like a lion,
    he tears the arm, and the crown of the head.
21 He chose the best of the land for himself,
    for there a commander’s portion was reserved;
and he came to the heads of the people,
    with Israel he executed the commands
    and just decrees of the Lord.”

    tearing at arm or head.
21 He chose the best land for himself;(F)
    the leader’s portion was kept for him.(G)
When the heads of the people assembled,
    he carried out the Lord’s righteous will,(H)
    and his judgments concerning Israel.”
