Genesis 49:26-28
Contemporary English Version
26 My son, the blessings I give
are better than the promise
of ancient mountains
or eternal hills.[a]
Joseph, I pray these blessings
will come to you,
because you are the leader
of your brothers.
27 Benjamin, you are a fierce wolf,
destroying your enemies
morning and evening.
28 These are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is how Jacob gave each of them their proper blessings.
