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.

¹⁷ I see it, but not now; I behold it, but not near; A star hath proceeded from Jacob, And a sceptre hath risen from Israel, And hath smitten corners of Moab, And hath destroyed all sons of Sheth.
