Benjamin’s Blessing

12 Moses said this about Benjamin:

“Benjamin is loved by the Lord
    and lives close to him in safety.
The Lord protects him all the time
    like a child at rest on its mother’s back.”[a]

Joseph’s Blessing

13 Moses said this about Joseph:

“May the Lord bless Joseph’s land
    with rain from the skies above
    and water from the ground below.

    Let each month bring its best fruit.
