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,

    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.
