Genesis 49:24-26
Living Bible
24 but their weapons were shattered by the Mighty One of Jacob, the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel. 25 May the God of your fathers, the Almighty, bless you with blessings of heaven above and of the earth beneath—blessings of the breasts and of the womb, 26 blessings of the grain and flowers, blessings reaching to the utmost bounds of the everlasting hills. These shall be the blessings upon the head of Joseph who was exiled from his brothers.

Genesis 49:24-26
New International Version
24 But his bow remained steady,(A)
his strong arms(B) stayed[a] limber,
because of the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob,(C)
because of the Shepherd,(D) the Rock of Israel,(E)
25 because of your father’s God,(F) who helps(G) you,
because of the Almighty,[b](H) who blesses you
with blessings of the skies above,
blessings of the deep springs below,(I)
blessings of the breast(J) and womb.(K)
26 Your father’s blessings are greater
than the blessings of the ancient mountains,
than[c] the bounty of the age-old hills.(L)
Let all these rest on the head of Joseph,(M)
on the brow of the prince among[d] his brothers.(N)
