## Genesis 49:14 in Context (Verses 11–17 KJV)
 
 [11 ](/kjv/genesis/49/11) Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
 
 [12 ](/kjv/genesis/49/12) His eyes *shall be* red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/genesis/49/13) ¶ 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 ](/kjv/genesis/49/14) ¶ Issachar *is* a strong ass couching down between two burdens:
 
 [15 ](/kjv/genesis/49/15) 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 ](/kjv/genesis/49/16) ¶ Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/genesis/49/17) 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.*
