Genesis 49:17

Revised Version with Apocrypha 1895

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

See the chapter Copy

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

I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.

And of the Danites that could set the battle in array, twenty and eight thousand and six hundred.

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

If the serpent bite before it be charmed, then is there no advantage in the charmer.
