Genesis 49:19-26

English Standard Version

^19 (A)“Raiders shall raid ^(B)Gad,^[a]
    but he shall raid at their heels.

^20 (C)“Asher's food shall be rich,
    and he shall yield royal delicacies.

^21 (D)“Naphtali is a doe let loose
    that bears beautiful fawns.^[b]

²² “Joseph is ^(E)a fruitful bough,
    a fruitful bough by a spring;
    his branches run over the wall.^[c]
23 The archers ^(F)bitterly attacked him,
    shot at him, and harassed him severely,
²⁴ yet ^(G)his bow remained unmoved;
    his arms^[d] were made agile
by the hands of the ^(H)Mighty One of Jacob
    (from there is ^(I)the Shepherd,^{[e] (J)}the Stone of Israel),
^25 (K)by the God of your father who will help you,
    by ^(L)the Almighty^{[f] (M)}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 ^(N)of the everlasting hills.^[g]
May they be ^(O)on the head of Joseph,
    and on the brow of him who was set apart from his brothers.
