Deuteronomy 33:18-28
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 33
18Of Zebulun he said, 'Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out, And, Issachar, in your tents.
25Your bars will be iron and bronze, And as your days, so will your strength be.
26'There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, Who rides the heavens to your help, And the clouds in His majesty.
27The eternal God is a hiding place, And underneath are the everlasting arms; And He drove out the enemy from you, And said, ‘Destroy!’
28So Israel lives in security, The fountain of Jacob secluded, In a land of grain and new wine; His heavens also drip down dew.
King James Version
Chapter 33
18And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy tents. 19They shall call the people unto the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand. 20And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head. 21And he provided the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments with Israel.
22And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.
23And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west and the south.
24And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil.
25Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.
26There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.
27The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.
28Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.

Chapter 33
18He said about Zebulun: Rejoice, Zebulun, in your journeys, and Issachar, in your tents. 19They summon the peoples to a mountain; there they offer acceptable sacrifices. For they draw from the wealth of the seas and the hidden treasures of the sand.
20He said about Gad: The one who enlarges Gad's territory will be blessed. He lies down like a lion and tears off an arm or even a head.
21He chose the best part for himself, because a ruler's portion was assigned there for him. He came with the leaders of the people; he carried out the Lord's justice and his ordinances for Israel.
25May the bolts of your gate be iron and bronze, and your strength last as long as you live.
26There is none like the God of Jeshurun, who rides the heavens to your aid, the clouds in his majesty.
27The God of old is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He drives out the enemy before you and commands, "Destroy! "
28So Israel dwells securely; Jacob lives untroubled in a land of grain and new wine; even his skies drip with dew.
