25 (A)by the God of your father who will help you,
    by (B)the Almighty[a] (C)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 (D)of the everlasting hills.[b]
May they be (E)on the head of Joseph,
    and on the brow of him who was set apart from his brothers.

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