Genesis 49:17 in Context — Genesis 49
15 Il voit que le lieu où il repose est agréable, Et que la contrée est magnifique; Et il courbe son épaule sous le fardeau, Il s’assujettit à un tribut.
16 Dan jugera son peuple, Comme l’une des tribus d’Israël.
17 Dan sera un serpent sur le chemin, Une vipère sur le sentier, Mordant les talons du cheval, Pour que le cavalier tombe à la renverse.
18 J’espère en ton secours, ô Éternel!
19 Gad sera assailli par des bandes armées, Mais il les assaillira et les poursuivra.
