“And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.”
When he sees how good is his resting place and how pleasant is his land, he will bend his shoulder to the burden and submit to forced labor. The willingness to accept burden for the pleasant land — the trade of freedom for comfort — is Issachar's characteristic pattern. The application: the tribe that chooses comfort over freedom is the tribe that will accept the cost of that comfort.
