THE HOLY BIBLE Douay-Rheims

Notes on Book of Genesis (Author Bishop Richard Challoner (ed.))

49:16 Dan shall judge, etc: This was verified in Samson, who was of the tribe of Dan, and began to deliver Israel. Judges 13.5. But as this deliverance was but temporal and very imperfect, the holy patriarch (ver. 18) aspires after another kind of deliverer, saying: I will look for thy salvation, O Lord.
