14 From Ephraim those whose root is ain Amalek came down,
Following you, Benjamin, with your peoples;
From Machir commanders came down,
And from Zebulun those who wield the staff of a scribe.
15 And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah;
As was Issachar, so was Barak;
Into the valley they rushed aat his heels;
Among the divisions of Reuben
There was great persistence of the heart.
16 Why did you sit among athe sheepfolds,
To hear the whistling for the flocks?
Among the divisions of Reuben
There were great probings of the heart.
17 aGilead dwelt across the Jordan;
And why did Dan stay in ships?
Asher sat at the seashore,
And dwelt by its landings.
