Genesis 49:22-26

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²² Joseph is a growing son, a growing son and comely to behold; the daughters run to and fro upon the wall.

²³ But they that held darts provoked him, and quarrelled with him, and envied him.

²⁴ His bow rested upon the strong, and the bands of his arms and his hands were loosed, by the hands of the mighty one of Jacob: thence he came forth a pastor, the stone of Israel.

²⁵ The God of thy father shall be thy helper, and the Almighty shall bless thee with the blessings of heaven above, with the blessings of the deep that lieth beneath, with the blessings of the breasts and of the womb.

²⁶ The blessings of thy father are strengthened with the blessings of his fathers: until the desire of the everlasting hills should come; may they be upon the head of Joseph, and upon the crown of the Nazarite among his brethren.
