On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

a strong ass couching down between two burdens--that is, it was to be active, patient, given to agricultural labors. It was established in lower Galilee--a "good land," settling down in the midst of the Canaanites, where, for the sake of quiet, they "bowed their shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute." Ge 49:16-18.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

It was a tribe that took pains, and, thriving thereby, was called upon for rents and taxes. That they should be encouraged in their labour by the goodness of the land that should fall to their lot. (1.) He saw that rest at home was good.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Issachar is a strong ass, couching down between two burdens - The men of that tribe shall be strong and industrious, fit for and inclined to labour, particularly the toil of husbandry, like the ass that patiently carries his burden.
