He lowered his shoulder to haul loads
        and joined the work gangs.
¹⁶ Dan^[b] will settle disputes for his people,

²⁴ But his bow stayed strong,

            by the hands of the strong one of Jacob,
            by the name of the shepherd, the rock of Israel,
²⁵                 by God, your father, who supports you,
            by the Almighty^[i] who blesses you
                with blessings from the skies above
                and blessings from the deep sea below,
                blessings from breasts and womb.
²⁶ The blessings of your father exceed
            the blessings of the eternal mountains,^[j]
            the wealth of the everlasting hills.
        May they all rest on Joseph’s head,
            on the forehead of the one set apart from his brothers.

        in the morning he devours the prey;
        in the evening he divides the plunder.”
