Genesis 49:17

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

Dan shall be a serpent in the way, a viper by the path, that bites the horse's heels so that his rider falls backward.

See the chapter Copy

Dan shall judge his people as one of the tribes of Israel.

I wait for thy salvation, O Lord.

Of the Danites twenty-eight thousand six hundred men equipped for battle.

At the last it bites like a serpent, and stings like an adder.

If the serpent bites before it is charmed, there is no advantage in a charmer.
