13 Zebulom em portos de mar habitará, E será para porto de navios; E seu termo até Sidom.

14 Issacar, asno de forte estrutura deitado entre dois apriscos:

15 E viu que o descanso era bom, E que a terra era deleitosa; E baixou seu ombro para levar, E serviu em tributo.

16 Dã julgará a seu povo, Como uma das tribos de Israel.
