12 For Benjamin he said, ‘The beloved of Adonai rests securely beside Him. He shields him all day long. Between His shoulders he rests.’
13 For Joseph he said, ‘May his land be blessed by Adonai with heavenly bounty from the dew and from the deep lying beneath,
14 and with the bounty of the sun’s produce and the months’ yield,
15 and with the best from the ancient mountains and the bounty of the everlasting hills,
16 with earth’s bounty and its fullness and the favor of the One dwelling in the bush. May it come on Joseph’s head, on the crown of the prince among his brothers.
17 The firstborn ox—majesty is his. His horns are the horns of the wild ox. With them he gores peoples, all at once, to the ends of the earth. They are the myriads of Ephraim, they are the thousands of Manasseh.’
