Genesis 49:18-20

Contemporary English Version

¹⁸Our Lord, I am waiting
for you to save us.

¹⁹Gad,^[a] you will be attacked,
then attack your attackers.

²⁰Asher, you will eat food
fancy enough for a king.

Genesis 49:18-20

New International Version

¹⁸“I look for your deliverance,^(A) Lord.^(B)

¹⁹“Gad^[a]^(C) will be attacked by a band of raiders,
but he will attack them at their heels.^(D)

²⁰“Asher’s^(E) food will be rich;^(F)
he will provide delicacies fit for a king.^(G)

Genesis 49:19 Gad sounds like the Hebrew for attack and also for band of raiders.
