Extract:
....definite Tribal patterns existed in the Biblical Era. We find these alignments repeated in our times. The Dan, Asher, and Naphtali threesome is one of them. This pattern was repeated from around the Tabernacle, to settlement in the land of Israel, to northern Europe, and again in Britain, and in Ireland, and possibly elsewhere as well.

3. Proverbs 18: 16-23. Watch Your Tongue and Value Friendship

================================
(a) NRSV Translation
Proverbs 18:
16 A gift opens doors;
  it gives access to the great.
17 The one who first states a case seems right,
  until the other comes and cross-examines.
18 Casting the lot puts an end to disputes
  and decides between powerful contenders.
19 An ally offended is stronger than a city;
  such quarrelling is like the bars of a castle.
20 From the fruit of the mouth one's stomach is satisfied;
  the yield of the lips brings satisfaction.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
  and those who love it will eat its fruits.
22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing,
  and obtains favour from the Lord.
23 The poor use entreaties,
  but the rich answer roughly.
24 Some friends play at friendship
  but a true friend sticks closer than one's nearest kin.
================================
(b) Proverbs 18: 16-23. Watch Your Tongue and Value Friendship
Brit-Am Translation.
Translation partly in the light of the Commentary of Metsudat David.
Proverbs 18:
16 The gift [or talent] of a man shall broaden [the pathway] for him;
and before the great it shall guide him.
17 The first [to state his case] in argument will [seem] righteous;
Until his contender comes and examines it.
18 Contentions may be ended by casting the lot;
and between powerful contenders make separation.
19 An offended [or "offensive": Metsudat David] brother is preferable to the strength of a city;
Argumentation is like the bars of a palace [that can be opened].
20 From the fruit of the mouth of a man shall his stomach be satisfied;
the harvest of his lips shall requite him.
21 Death and life are in the hand of the tongue.
They who love her shall eat its fruits.
22 Found a woman, found [something] good;
and favor shall emanate from the LORD.
23 With entreaties shall the poor man speak,
but the rich shall answer fiercely.
24 A person of amenability for alliance;
and a friend is sometimes more devoted than a brother.
The Overall Message:
Gifts or bribes may be useful;Â so is talent. Give something to others.
Hear both sides of the story.
Argumentation may be ended by agreed upon arbitration.
Remember that those who are close to you should be your natural allies. You may need them.
How you speak can decide your fate. Watch your tongue.
Value conjugality.
Money talks, poverty pleads.
Be a friend and you will find friendship when you need it.
