And of Zebulun he said: Rejoice, O Zebulun, on your journeys, And Issachar, in your tents.
Targum Onkelos
וְלִזְבוּלוּן אֲמַר חֲדִי זְבוּלוּן בְּמִפְּקָךְ לְאָגָחָא קְרָבָא עַל בַּעֲלֵי דְּבָבָךְ וְיִשָּׂשכָר בִּמְהָכָךְ לְמֶעֱבַד זִמְנֵי מוֹעֲדַיָּא בִּירוּשְׁלֶם׃
And regarding Zevulun he said, ‘‘Rejoice Zevulun at your departure; and Yissachar in your tents [Rejoice Zevulun when you go out to wage war on your enemies, and Yissachar when you go to calculate the times of the Festivals in Yerushalayim.].
- Deuteronomy 33:19
עַמִּים הַר־יִקְרָאוּ שָׁם יִזְבְּחוּ זִבְחֵי־צֶדֶק כִּי שֶׁפַע יַמִּים יִינָקוּ וּשְׂפֻנֵי טְמוּנֵי חוֹל׃
They invite their kin to the mountain, Where they offer sacrifices of success. For they draw from the riches of the sea And the hidden hoards of the sand.
Targum Onkelos
שִׁבְטַיָּא דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל לְטוּר בֵּית מַקְדְּשָׁא יִתְכַּנְשׁוּן תַּמָּן יִכְּסוּן נִכְסַת קוּדְשִׁין לְרַעֲוָא אֲרֵי נִכְסֵי עַמְמַיָּא יֵיכְלוּן וְסִימָן דְּמִטַּמְרָן בְּחָלָא מִתְגַּלְיָן לְהוֹן׃
Peoples [tribes of Israel] shall assemble at the mountain [of the Beis Hamikdosh]—there will they slaughter righteous [sacred] offerings [for good will]; for by the streaming of the sea they shall be nurtured [they will consume the wealth of nations] and the hidden treasures of sand [will be revealed to them].’’
- Deuteronomy 33:20
וּלְגָד אָמַר בָּרוּךְ מַרְחִיב גָּד כְּלָבִיא שָׁכֵן וְטָרַף זְרוֹעַ אַף־קׇדְקֹד׃
And of Gad he said: Blessed be the One who enlarges Gad! Poised is he like a lion To tear off arm and scalp.
Targum Onkelos
וּלְגָד אֲמַר בְּרִיךְ דְּאַפְתֵּי לְגָד כְּלֵיתָא שְׁרֵי וִיקַטֵּיל שִׁלְטוֹנִין עִם מַלְכִין׃
And regarding Gad he said, ‘‘Blessed is the One who broadens [increases] Gad; He lairs like a lion then rips the arm with the head [and he will kill rulers and kings].
- Deuteronomy 33:21
וַיַּרְא רֵאשִׁית לוֹ כִּי־שָׁם חֶלְקַת מְחֹקֵק סָפוּן וַיֵּתֵא רָאשֵׁי עָם צִדְקַת יְהֹוָה עָשָׂה וּמִשְׁפָּטָיו עִם־יִשְׂרָאֵל׃
He chose for himself the best, For there is the portion of the revered chieftain, Where the heads of the people come. He executed GOD’s judgments And decisions for Israel.
Targum Onkelos
וְאִתְקַבַּל בְּקַדְמֵיתָא דִּילֵיהּ אֲרֵי תַּמָּן בְּאַחְסָנְתֵיהּ מֹשֶׁה סָפְרָא רַבָּא דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל קְבִיר הוּא נְפַק וְעָאל בְּרֵישׁ עַמָּא זָכְוָן קֳדָם יְיָ עֲבַד וְדִינוֹהִי עִם יִשְׂרָאֵל׃
He saw the foremost for himself, [he received (his portion of land) first,] for there [in his inheritance, is Moshe] the great scribe’s burial plot is concealed; he marched [and rose] at the head of the people, he acted righteously [with merit] before Adonoy and His laws with Yisroel.’’
