the Tribe of Issachar: Predictions Respecting

Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between the sheepfolds.

He saw that his resting place was good and that his land was pleasant, so he bent his shoulder to the burden and submitted to labor as a servant.

Concerning Zebulun he said: “Rejoice, Zebulun, in your journeys, and Issachar, in your tents.

They will call the peoples to a mountain; there they will offer sacrifices of righteousness. For they will feast on the abundance of the seas and the hidden treasures of the sand.”
