Genesis 49:18-20

Good News Translation

¹⁸“I wait for your deliverance, Lord.

¹⁹“Gad will be attacked by a band of robbers,
But he will turn and pursue them.

²⁰“Asher's land will produce rich food.
He will provide food fit for a king.

Genesis 49:18-20

New International Version

¹⁸“I look for your deliverance,^(A) Lord.^(B)

¹⁹“Gad^[a]^(C) will be attacked by a band of raiders,
but he will attack them at their heels.^(D)

²⁰“Asher’s^(E) food will be rich;^(F)
he will provide delicacies fit for a king.^(G)

Genesis 49:19 Gad sounds like the Hebrew for attack and also for band of raiders.

¹⁸I have waited for thy salvation, O Lord.

¹⁹Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.

²⁰Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.
