  1. Genesis 49:16-21

    [FONT=verdana]-
    [B][COLOR=#ff0000]†.[/COLOR] Gen 49:16 . . Dan shall govern his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.[/B]

    That prediction alludes to Dan's autonomous attitude towards the other tribes. In point of fact, Dan's tribe didn't join forces with the others in the north to help repel oppressors. (Judg 5:17)

    A good example of Dan's autonomous attitude is Mr. Samson. During his tenure as a Judge in Israel (Judg 13:1-16:31) Samson never mustered an army nor ...

    [B][COLOR=#ff0000]†.[/COLOR] Gen 49:8 . .You, O Judah, your brothers shall praise; your hand shall be on the nape of your foes; your father's sons shall bow low to you.[/B]

Not so, Father; Joseph said to his father; for the other is the firstborn; place your right hand on his head. But his father objected, saying: I know, my son, I know.[/B]
