\nGenesis 49:16<\/b><\/span> \u00a0 <\/span>\u201cDan shall judge his people as one of the tribes of Israel. Dan shall be a serpent in the way, a viper by the path, that bites the horse’s heels so that his rider falls backward. I wait for your salvation, O LORD.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Judges 18:22-31<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0When they had gone a distance from the home of Micah, the men who were in the houses near Micah’s house were called out, and they overtook the people of Dan.\u00a0\u00a0And they shouted to the people of Dan, who turned around and said to Micah, \u201cWhat is the matter with you, that you come with such a company?\u201d\u00a0\u00a0And he said, \u201cYou take my gods that I made and the priest, and go away, and what have I left? How then do you ask me, \u2018What is the matter with you?\u2019\u201d\u00a0\u00a0And the people of Dan said to him, \u201cDo not let your voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows fall upon you, and you lose your life with the lives of your household.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Then the people of Dan went their way. And when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his home.\u00a0\u00a0But the people of Dan took what Micah had made, and the priest who belonged to him, and they came to Laish, to a people quiet and unsuspecting, and struck them with the edge of the sword and burned the city with fire.\u00a0\u00a0And there was no deliverer because it was far from Sidon, and they had no dealings with anyone. It was in the valley that belongs to Beth-rehob. Then they rebuilt the city and lived in it.\u00a0\u00a0And they named the city Dan, after the name of Dan their ancestor, who was born to Israel; but the name of the city was Laish at the first.\u00a0\u00a0And the people of Dan set up the carved image for themselves, and Jonathan the son of Gershom, son of Moses, and his sons were priests to the tribe of the Danites until the day of the captivity of the land.\u00a0\u00a0So they set up Micah’s carved image that he made, as long as the house of God was at Shiloh.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Psalms 14:7<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Psalms 40:1<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b> I waited patiently for the LORD; he inclined to me and heard my cry.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Psalms 62:1<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Psalms 119:41<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/b> Let your steadfast love come to me, O LORD, your salvation according to your promise;<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Psalms 119:166<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0I hope for your salvation, O LORD<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Psalms 130:5<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope;<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Isaiah 8:17<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0I will wait for the LORD, who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope in him.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Isaiah 25:9<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0It will be said on that day, \u201cBehold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us. This is the LORD; we have waited for him; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Lamentations 3:25<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Micah 7:7<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0But as for me, I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Galatians 5:5<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>1 Thessalonians 1:10<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Dan shall judge his people as one of the tribes of Israel. There is an elegant paronomasia, or an allusion to the name of Dan in those words, which signifies to judge, and the sense of them is, there should be heads, rulers, and judges of it. (GILL)<\/p>\n
“Dan will procure his people justice as one of the tribes of Israel. Let Dan become a serpent by the way, a horned adder in the path, that biteth the horse’s heels, so that its rider falls back.” Although only the son of a maid-servant, Dan would not be behind the other tribes of Israel, but act according to his name (\u05d9\u05d3\u05d9\u05df \u05d3\u05bc\u05df), and as much as any other of the tribes procure justice to his people (i.e., to the people of Israel; not to his own tribe, as Diestel supposes). There is no allusion in these words to the office of judge which was held by Samson; they merely describe the character of the tribe, although this character came out in the expedition of a portion of the Danites to Laish in the north of Canaan, a description of which is given in\u00a0Judges 18<\/span><\/a>, as well as in the “romantic chivalry of the brave, gigantic Samson, when the cunning of the serpent he overthrew the mightiest foes” (KEIL & DELITZSCH)<\/p>\n
Jacob, almost spent, and ready to faint, relieves himself with those words, I have waited for thy salvation, O Lord! The salvation he waited for was Christ, the promised Seed; now that he was going to be gathered to his people, he breathes after Him to whom the gathering of the people shall be. He declared plainly that he sought heaven, the better country, Heb 11:13,14. Now he is going to enjoy the salvation, he comforts himself that he had waited for the salvation. Christ, as our way to heaven, is to be waited on; and heaven, as our rest in Christ, is to be waited for. It is the comfort of a dying saint thus to have waited for the salvation of the Lord; for then he shall have what he has been waiting for. (HENRY)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
