GENESIS

He washed his garments in wine,
And his clothes in the blood of grapes:
His eyes shall be red with wine,
And his teeth white with milk.

Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea;
And he shall be for an haven of ships;
And his border shall be unto Zidon.

Issachar is a strong ass
Couching down between two burdens;
And he saw that rest was good,
And the land that it was pleasant;
And bowed his shoulder to bear,
And became a servant unto tribute.

Dan shall judge his people,
As one of the tribes of Israel.
Dan shall be a serpent by the way.
An adder in the path,
That biteth the horse heels,
So that his rider shall fall backward.
I have waited for thy salvation, O Lord.

Gad, a troop shall overcome him:
But he shall overcome at the last.

Out of Asher his bread shall be fat.
And he shall yield royal dainties.

Naphtali is a hind let loose:
He giveth goodly words.
