Genesis 49:24-26
English Standard Version
24 yet (A)his bow remained unmoved;
his arms[a] were made agile
by the hands of the (B)Mighty One of Jacob
(from there is (C)the Shepherd,[b] (D)the Stone of Israel),
25 (E)by the God of your father who will help you,
by (F)the Almighty[c] (G)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 (H)of the everlasting hills.[d]
May they be (I)on the head of Joseph,
and on the brow of him who was set apart from his brothers.
