Okay, well, I can accept that the translations say, "Issachar is a strong-boned [loyal beast=donkey] hunkered between the campfires," but the part that seems troublesome for him is the next phrase: "When he sees how good is his resting place, he will bend his shoulder to the burden and submit to forced labor."

And I say, O woe art thou, Issachar! I weep for thee; always the suffering servant?
