⁶ and Rachel saith, `God hath decided for me, and also hath hearkened to my voice, and giveth to me a son;' therefore hath she called his name Dan.

⁵⁹ Thou hast seen, O Jehovah, my overthrow, Judge Thou my cause.

¹ Judge me, O God, And plead my cause against a nation not pious, From a man of deceit and perverseness Thou dost deliver me,

²⁴ Judge me according to Thy righteousness, O Jehovah my God, And they do not rejoice over me.

¹⁶ Dan doth judge his people, As one of the tribes of Israel;

¹⁷ Dan is a serpent by the way, An adder by the path, Which is biting the horse's heels, And its rider falleth backward.

¹⁴ And I have caused thine enemies To pass over into the land -- Thou hast not known, For a fire hath been kindled in Mine anger, Against you it doth burn.

¹⁵ Thou, Thou hast known, O Jehovah, Remember me, and inspect me, And take vengeance for me of my pursuers, In Thy long-suffering take me not away, Know -- I have borne for Thee reproach.

¹⁶ Thy words have been found, and I eat them, And Thy word is to me for a joy, And for the rejoicing of my heart, For Thy name is called on me, O Jehovah, God of Hosts.

¹⁷ I have not sat in an assembly of deriders, Nor do I exult, because of thy hand, -- Alone I have sat, For `with' indignation Thou hast filled me.

¹⁸ Why hath my pain been perpetual? And my wound incurable? It hath refused to be healed, Thou art surely to me as a failing stream, Waters not stedfast.

¹⁹ Therefore, thus said Jehovah: If thou turnest back, then I bring thee back, Before Me thou dost stand, And if thou bringest out the precious from the vile, As My mouth thou art! They -- they turn back unto thee, And thou dost not turn back unto them.

²⁰ And I have made thee to this people For a wall -- brazen -- fenced, And they have fought against thee, And they do not prevail against thee, For with thee `am' I to save thee, And to deliver thee -- an affirmation of Jehovah,

²⁴ And I scatter them as stubble, Passing away, by a wind of the wilderness.

² and I get the girdle, according to the word of Jehovah, and I place `it' on my loins.

²² And of Dan he said: -- Dan `is' a lion's whelp; he doth leap from Bashan.

²³ And sons of Dan: Hushim.

²⁵ And sons of Bilhah, Rachel's maid-servant: Dan and Naphtali.

³² and Leah conceiveth, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Reuben, for she said, `Because Jehovah hath looked on mine affliction; because now doth my husband love me.'

³³ And she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith, `Because Jehovah hath heard that I `am' the hated one, He also giveth to me even this `one';' and she calleth his name Simeon.

³⁴ And she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith, `Now `is' the time, my husband is joined unto me, because I have born to him three sons,' therefore hath `one' called his name Levi.

³⁵ And she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith this time, `I praise Jehovah;' therefore hath she called his name Judah; and she ceaseth from bearing.
