14 with the rich fruit that grows in the sun,and the rich harvest produced each month;
15 with the finest crops of the ancient mountains,and the abundance from the everlasting hills;
16 with the best gifts of the earth and its bounty,and the favor of the one who appeared in the burning bush.May these blessings rest on Joseph’s head,crowning the brow of the prince among his brothers.
17 Joseph has the majesty of a young bull;he has the horns of a wild ox.He will gore distant nations,even to the ends of the earth.This is my blessing for the multitudes of Ephraimand the thousands of Manasseh.”
18 Moses said this about the tribes of Zebulun and Issachar:“May the people of Zebulun prosper in their travels.May the people of Issachar prosper at home in their tents.
19 They summon the people to the mountainto offer proper sacrifices there.They benefit from the riches of the seaand the hidden treasures in the sand.”
20 Moses said this about the tribe of Gad:“Blessed is the one who enlarges Gad’s territory!Gad is poised there like a lionto tear off an arm or a head.
