“Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.”
Dan will be a serpent by the roadside, a viper along the path, that bites the horse's heels so that its rider tumbles backward. The serpent image for Dan is the image of surprising, effective force from an unexpected source — the small tribe that disrupts larger enemies. The application: the covenant blessing acknowledges the particular kind of strength given to each tribe, even the unconventional kinds.
