Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between two burdens.

He saw that the resting place was good, and that the land was pleasant. He bowed his shoulder to bear a burden, and became a servant to forced labor.

Better is a dry morsel with quietness, than a house full of sacrifices with strife.

Better is a hand filled with rest than two hands full with travail and striving of spirit.

Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.

that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you,

for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity.

nor did we eat anyone's bread free of charge, but worked with labor and toil night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you,

Give us day by day our bread sufficient for the day.
