He executed the righteousness of Yahweh, His ordinances with Israel." 22 Of Dan he said, "Dan is a lion's cub that leaps out of Bashan." 23 Of Naphtali he said, "Naphtali, satisfied with favor, full of the blessing of Yahweh, Possess the west and the south." 24 Of Asher he said, "Asher is blessed with children.

Underneath are the everlasting arms. He thrust out the enemy from before you, and said, 'Destroy!' 28 Israel dwells in safety; the fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine.
