Genesis 49:14

Jacob Blesses His Twelve Sons

¹³ Zebulun will live by the seashore
and will be a harbor for ships,
and his territory will be next to Sidon. ¹⁴ Issachar is a strong donkey
lying down between the saddlebags.
¹⁵ He saw that his resting place was good
and that the land was pleasant,
so he leaned his shoulder to bear a load
and became a forced laborer.
