Genesis 49:16-18 Dan introduces idolatry!

16Danshall provide justice for his people
as one of the tribes of Israel.
Judges 13:24So the woman gave birth to a son and named him Samson. The boy grew, and the LORD blessed him. 
Samson was one of the most prominent judges that came from the tribe of Dan.

17He will be a serpent by the road,
a viper in the path,
that bites the horse’s heels
so that its rider tumbles backward.
Judges 18:30The Danites set up idols for themselves, and Jonathan son of Gershom, the son of Moses,and his sons were priests for the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land.
The tribe of Dan introduced idolatry into Israel, what a legacy!

18I await Your salvation, O LORD. 
“What a happy breathing-space is this! When you and I also are near our journey’s end, may we be able to say, as Jacob did, ‘I have waited for thy salvation, O Lord.’” (Spurgeon)
Hebrew word for salvationis “yeshuwah.” Knowingly or not, Jacob calls out to Jesus! 

Yeshuwah be with you!

Blessings, David
