Asher’s Zodiac Sign
Sagittarius—The Archer
(The Redeemer’s Triumph)
Sagittarius (The
Archer)
Hebrew Name
The Hebrew name is
Kesith, the archer, as in
Genesis 21:20*.
*Ishmael became an archer.
Sagittarius—69 Stars
(five of the third magnitude, nine of the fourth magnitude)
Bright star Hebrew Naim, Arabic Al Naim, the gracious one

Place in the Heavenly Story
Sagittarius concludes the first book in the Zodiac story and is occupied with the triumph of
the coming Conqueror.
Psalm 45:3–6: 3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, With thy glory and thy
majesty. 4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously Because of truth and meekness and
righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. 5 Thine arrows are sharp
in the heart of the king’s enemies; Whereby the people fall under thee. 6 Thy throne, O
God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of Thy kingdom is a right septre.
Revelation 19:11: 11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He That sat
upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He doth judge and make war.
Again we have the picture of a centaur as to his outward form, i.e. a being with two
natures. Not now far down in the south, or connected with His sufferings and sacrifice as a
man; but high up, as a sign of the Zodiac itself, on the ecliptic, i.e. in the very path in
which the sun “rejoiceth in his going forth as a strong man.” In the Archer we see a fain
reflection of Him Who will presently come
forth, all gracious, all wise, all powerful,
whose arrows shall be “sharp in the heart of
the King’s enemies.”
When the waiting time is over, and the Redeemer comes forth, then praise shall be given.
Beautifully then does the harp come in here, following upon the going forth of this
victorious Horseman.

Asher Encamped, Numbered, and At War
Pagiel the Head of the House of His Fathers
Numbers 1:1–4,13: 1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the
tabernacle of the congregation, on the first day of the second
month, in the second year after they were come out
of the land of Egypt, saying, 2 “Take ye the sum of
all the congregation of the children of Israel,
after their families, by the house of their
fathers, with the number of their names,
every male by their polls; 3 From twenty
years old and upward, all that are able to
go forth to war in Israel: thou and Aaron
shall number them by their armies. 4
And with you there shall be a man of
every tribe; every one head of the house
of his fathers. 13 Of Asher; Pagiel the son
of Ocran.
*The camp of Dan included all the tribes encamped on the north (Asher, Dan, and Naphtali).

Asher’s Order in the Wilderness Journeyings of Israel
Numbers 10:12–28: 12 And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of
Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran. 13 And they first took their journey
according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses. 14 In the first place went
the standard of the camp of the children of Judah according to their armies: and over his
host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 15 And over the host of the tribe of the children of
Issachar was Nethaneel the son of Zuar. 16 And over the host of the tribe of the children of
Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon. 17 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of
Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle. 18 And the standard of
the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elizur the
son of Shedeur. 19 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel
the son of Zurishaddai. 20 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph
the son of Deuel. 21 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the other
did set up the tabernacle against they came. 22 And the standard of the camp of the children
of Ephraim set forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elishama the son of
Ammihud. 23 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the
son of Pedahzur. 24 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan
the son of Gideoni. 25 And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward,
which was the rereward of all the camps throughout their hosts: and over his host was
Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 26 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher
was Pagiel the son of Ocran. 27 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was
Ahira the son of Enan. 28 Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to
their armies, when they set forward.

continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.

Judges 7:23–25: 23 And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and
out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites. 24 And Gideon sent
messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, “Come down against the Midianites, and
take before them the waters unto Beth-barah and Jordan.” Then all the men of Ephraim
gathered themselves together, and took the waters unto Beth-barah and Jordan. 25 And they
took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb,
and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of
9
Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side Jordan.

Asher’s Inheritances
Manasseh Inherits Cities in Asher
Joshua 17:7–13: 7 And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that lieth
before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of En-
tappuah. 8 Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of
Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim; 9 And the coast descended unto the river
Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh: the
coast of Manasseh also was on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the
sea: 10 Southward it was Ephraim’s, and northward it was Manasseh’s, and the sea is his
border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east. 11 And
Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and her towns, and Ibleam and her
towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of En-dor and her
towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and
her towns, even three countries. 12 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the
inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land. 13 Yet it came to
pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute;
but did not utterly drive them out.
Joshua 21:27–33: 27 And unto the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, out of
the other half tribe of Manasseh they gave Golan in Bashan with her suburbs, to be a city of
refuge for the slayer; and Beesh-terah with her suburbs; two cities. 28 And out of the tribe of
Issachar, Kishon with her suburbs, Dabareh with her suburbs, 29 Jarmuth with her suburbs,
11
En-gannim with her suburbs; four cities. 30 And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with her
suburbs, Abdon with her suburbs, 31 Helkath with her suburbs, and Rehob with her suburbs;
four cities. 32 And out of the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with her suburbs, to be a
city of refuge for the slayer; and Hammoth-dor with her suburbs, and Kartan with her
suburbs; three cities. 33 All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families were

the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for
Him after the custom of the law, 28 Then took he Him up in his arms, and blessed God,
and said, 29 “Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace, according to Thy
word: 30 For mine eyes have seen Thy salvation, 31 Which Thou hast prepared before
the face of all people; 32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of Thy people
Israel.” 33 And Joseph and His mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of
him. 34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary His mother, “Behold, this Child
is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be
spoken against; 35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the
thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” 36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess,
the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived
with an husband seven years from her virginity; 37 And she was a widow of about
fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with
fastings and prayers night and day. 38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks
likewise unto the LORD , and spake of Him to all them that looked for redemption in
Jerusalem.
