Deuteronomy 33:18-20

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁸And of Zebulun he said: ^[a]Rejoice, Zebulun, in your interests abroad, and you, Issachar, in your tents [at home].

¹⁹They shall call the people unto Mount [Carmel]; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness, for ^[b]they shall suck the abundance of the seas and the treasures hid in the sand.

²⁰And of Gad he said: Blessed is He Who enlarges Gad! Gad lurks like a lioness, and tears the arm, yes, the crown of the head.

Footnotes

Deuteronomy 33:18 Not until 1934 was this prophecy notably in process of fulfillment, when Haifa’s bay became one of the great harbors of the Mediterranean Sea, with commerce affecting the whole world.
Deuteronomy 33:19 The great oil pipeline path across Palestine was first opened in 1935. Until then this prophecy fell far short of fulfillment. But 3,400 years before, Moses sent out the inspired headlines, “Zebulun... Issachar... shall suck the abundance of the seas, and the treasures hid in the sand.” Our omnipotent God was “declaring the end and the result from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand” (Isa. 46:10).
