Genesis 49:17

King James Version (Oxford) 1769

Dan shall be a serpent by the way, An adder in the path, That biteth the horse heels, So that his rider shall fall backward.

See the chapter Copy

And of the Danites expert in war twenty and eight thousand and six hundred.

Dan shall judge his people, As one of the tribes of Israel.

I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.

At the last it biteth like a serpent, And stingeth like an adder.

Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
