18 For Zebulun he said,
‘Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out,
    and Issachar, in your tents.
19 Peoples they call to the mountain—
there they offer righteous sacrifices.
For they suckle the abundance of the seas
and the hidden treasures of the sand.’
20 For Gad he said,
‘Blessed is the one who enlarges Gad.
Like a lion he crouches,
    and tears off an arm
    or even the crown of a head.
21 He chose the best for himself,
for there a marked portion was reserved.
He came with the heads of the people.
He carried out Adonai’s justice
    and His judgments for Israel.’

“Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out,

21 He chose the best land for himself;(H)
    the leader’s portion was kept for him.(I)
When the heads of the people assembled,

    and his judgments concerning Israel.”
