Holy Scripture

Genesis 49:16

A church father on this verse
“Hipp. The Lord is represented to us as a horseman; and the "heel" points us to the "last times." And His "falling" denotes His death; as it is written in the Gospel: "Behold, this (child) is set for the fall and rising again of many." We take the "robber" to be the traitor. Nor was there any other traitor to the Lord…”

In context

14Issachar has desired that which is good; Resting between the inheritances.

15And having seen the resting place that it was good, And the land that it was fertile, He subjected his shoulder to labor, And became a husbandman.

— Genesis 49:16 —

17And let Dan be a serpent in the way, Besetting the path, Biting the heel of the horse (And the rider shall fall backward),

18Waiting for the salvation of the Lord.
