2 [1] **and you shall be borne on shields** Heb. בְּצִנּוֹת. And the nations shall bear you on their shields.
[2] **and your posterity in fishing boats** Heb. בְּסִירוֹת דּוּגָה. [*Jonathan* renders:] And your daughters in fishermen’s boats. That is a small boat used by fishermen, and, since it is small, he calls it סִיר, a pot, and in Mishnaic Hebrew, it is called דּוּגִית in *Baba Bathra* 73a. **your posterity** Heb. וְאַחֲרִיתְכֶן, lit., your end. Dunash ben Livrat (*Teshuvoth* p. 50): We find a person’s descendants called ‘his end.’ Cf. (Daniel 11:4) “And when he stands up, his kingdom shall be broken, and it shall be divided to the four winds of the heaven, and not to his posterity (לְאַחֲרִיתוֹ).” I.e, he will not leave over his kingdom to his son.
