Jacob's blessing, Genesis 49

"Gad shall be raided by raiders,
But he shall raid at their heels."

Mose's blessing, Deuteronomy 33,

Blessed be HE who enlarges Gad!

Poised is he like a lion
To tear off arm and scalp.
He chose for himself the best,

For there is a portion of revered chieftain,
Where the heads of the people come.

He carried out the LORD's judgements
And HIS decisions for Israel"

Midrash Rabbah Bamidbar 2

His gem was agate (SHVA),
and his flag was neither white nor black, but a mixture thereof.
There was a military camp drawn on it, as it is written: Gad shall be raided by raiders

Gad
The Window contains many images of weapons (shields, spears)' which reflect the warlike character of this tribe.
