The blessing of MosesDeuteronomy 33:20-21

And of Gad he said: Blessed is He who expands
Gad
Like a lion he rests, and mauls the arm, even the top of the head.
He saw the first for himself, as there the plot of the lawgiver, is hidden
He brings the heads of the people
He performed the righteousness of the Lord and His ordinances with Israel.

וּלְגָד אָמַר בָּרוּךְ מַרְחִיב גָּד כְּלָבִיא שָׁכֵן וְטָרַף זְרוֹעַ אַף־קׇדְקֹד׃
וַיַּרְא רֵאשִׁית לוֹ כִּי־שָׁם חֶלְקַת מְחֹקֵק סָפוּן וַיֵּתֵא רָאשֵׁי עָם צִדְקַת יְהֹוָה עָשָׂה וּמִשְׁפָּטָיו עִם־יִשְׂרָאֵל׃
