Genesis 49:19

Context

49:19 Gad will be raided by marauding bands,

but he will attack them at their heels. 1 

Genesis 49:23

Context

49:23 The archers will attack him, 2 

they will shoot at him and oppose him.

1 tc Heb “heel.” The MT has suffered from misdivision at this point. The initial mem on the first word in the next verse should probably be taken as a plural ending on the word “heel.”

sn In Hebrew the name Gad (גָּד, gad ) sounds like the words translated “raided” (יְגוּדֶנּוּ, yÿgudennu) and “marauding bands” (גְּדוּד, gÿdud).

2 tn The verb forms in vv. 23-24 are used in a rhetorical manner, describing future events as if they had already taken place.
