And those are the thousands of Manasseh.”

And the hidden treasures of the sand.”

^(K)For there the ruler’s portion was ^[e]reserved;
^(L)And he came with the heads of the people;
^(M)He did the righteousness of Yahweh,
And His judgments with Israel.”

And full of the blessing of Yahweh,
Take possession of the sea and the south.”

May he be favored by his brothers,
^(R)And may he dip his foot in oil.

^(T)And according to your days, so your fortitude will be.
