49:15When he sees18 a good resting place,
and the pleasant land,
he will bend his shoulder to the burden
and become a slave laborer.19
Footnotes
- 18 The verb forms in this verse (“sees,” “will bend,” and “[will] become”) are preterite; they is used in a rhetorical manner, describing the future as if it had already transpired.
- 19 The oracle shows that the tribe of Issachar will be willing to trade liberty for the material things of life. Issachar would work (become a slave laborer) for the Canaanites, a reversal of the oracle on Canaan. See C. M. Carmichael, “Some Sayings in Genesis 49,” 88 (1969): 435–44; and S. Gevirtz, “The Issachar Oracle in the Testament of Jacob,” 12 (1975): 104–12.
