Genesis 49:22-33

English Standard Version

²² “Joseph is ^(A)a fruitful bough,
    a fruitful bough by a spring;
    his branches run over the wall.^[a]
23 The archers ^(B)bitterly attacked him,
    shot at him, and harassed him severely,
²⁴ yet ^(C)his bow remained unmoved;
    his arms^[b] were made agile
by the hands of the ^(D)Mighty One of Jacob
    (from there is ^(E)the Shepherd,^{[c] (F)}the Stone of Israel),
^25 (G)by the God of your father who will help you,
    by ^(H)the Almighty^{[d] (I)}who will bless you
    with blessings of heaven above,
blessings of the deep that crouches beneath,
    blessings of the breasts and of the womb.
²⁶ The blessings of your father
    are mighty beyond the blessings of my parents,
    up to the bounties ^(J)of the everlasting hills.^[e]
May they be ^(K)on the head of Joseph,
    and on the brow of him who was set apart from his brothers.

^27 (L)“Benjamin is a ravenous wolf,
    in the morning devouring the prey
    and at evening ^(M)dividing the spoil.”
