13 Here's what Moses said about Joseph. "May the Lord bless Joseph's land. May he bless it with dew from the highest heavens. May he bless it with water from the deepest oceans.
14 May he bless it with the best crops the sun can produce. May he bless it with the finest crops the moon can give.
15 May he bless it with the best products of the age-old mountains. May he bless it with the many crops of the ancient hills.
16 May he bless it with the best gifts that fill the earth. May he bless it with the favor of the One who spoke out of the burning bush. Let all of those blessings rest on the head of Joseph. Let them rest on the head of the one who is prince among his brothers.

18 Here's what Moses said about Zebulun and Issachar. "Zebulun, be filled with joy when you go out. Issachar, be joyful in your tents.
