Genesis 49:13-18
King James Version
13 Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for an haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon.
14 Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:
15 And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.
16 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
17 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.
18 I have waited for thy salvation, O Lord.

13 “Zebulun(A) shall dwell by the haven of the sea;
He shall become a haven for ships,
And his border shall (B)adjoin Sidon.
14 “Issachar(C) is a strong donkey,
Lying down between two burdens;

And became a band of slaves.

As one of the tribes of Israel.
