Deuteronomy 33:20-22
GOD’S WORD Translation
20 About the tribe of Gad he said,
“Blessed is the one who gives the people of Gad more land.
They wait there like a lion.
They can tear off an arm or a head.
21 They chose the best land for themselves.
Indeed, a commander’s piece of land was reserved for them.
They were leaders of the people
and did for Israel what the Lord considers fair and honorable.”
22 About the tribe of Dan he said,
“The people of Dan are a lion cub.
Out of Bashan they pounce ⌞on their enemies⌟.”
