12 About the tribe of Benjamin he said,“The Lord’s beloved people will live securely with him.The Lord will shelter them all day long,since he, too, lives on the mountain slopes.”

14 May the Lord bless their land with crops,the best gift the sun can give,the best produce of each month,
15 the finest fruits from the oldest mountains,the best from the ancient hills,
16 and the most plentiful crops of the earth.May the Lord bless their land with the favorof the one who was in the burning bush.May these blessings come to the tribes of Joseph.May they crown the people who are like princes in Israel.
