Genesis 49:18-20

The Message

¹⁸I wait in hope
for your salvation, God.

¹⁹Gad will be attacked by bandits,
but he will trip them up.

²⁰Asher will become famous for rich foods,
candies and sweets fit for kings.

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.
