Deuteronomy 33:18-19

Moses Blesses the Tribes Under the LORD's Eternal Refuge

Moses blesses Israel before his death by first presenting the LORD as the covenant King who came from Sinai with instruction, then speaking tribe-specific blessings, and finally declaring Israel blessed because the eternal God is their refuge, help, shield, and sword.

18Concerning Zebulun he said: “Rejoice, Zebulun, in your journeys, and Issachar, in your tents.

19They will call the peoples to a mountain; there they will offer sacrifices of righteousness. For they will feast on the abundance of the seas and the hidden treasures of the sand.”
