19 (A)They will call peoples to the mountain;
There they will offer (B)righteous sacrifices;
For they will [a]draw out (C)the abundance of the seas,
And the hidden treasures of the sand.”

20 (D)Of Gad he said,

“Blessed is the one who enlarges Gad;
He lies down (E)as a [b]lion,
And tears the arm, also the crown of the head.
21 (F)Then he [c]selected the choicest part for himself,
(G)For there the ruler’s portion was [d]reserved;
(H)And he came with the leaders of the people;
(I)He executed the justice of the Lord,
And His ordinances with Israel.”
