Genesis 49:24-26
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
24 Yet his bow remained taut,
and his arms[a] were made agile
by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob,
by the name of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,
25 by the God of your father, who will help you,
by the Almighty[b] who will bless you
with blessings of heaven above,
blessings of the deep that lies beneath,
blessings of the breasts and of the womb.
26 The blessings of your father
are stronger than the blessings of the eternal mountains,
the bounties[c] of the everlasting hills;
may they be on the head of Joseph,
on the brow of him who was set apart from his brothers.
