Genesis 49:14

_ _ Genesis 49:14, Genesis 49:15. Issachar.

_ _ a strong ass couching down between two burdens — that is, it was to be active, patient, given to agricultural labors. It was established in lower Galilee — a “good land,” settling down in the midst of the Canaanites, where, for the sake of quiet, they “bowed their shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Genesis 49:13-21.
