Deuteronomy 33:13-17
English Standard Version
13 And (A)of Joseph he said,
(B)“Blessed by the Lord be his land,
with the choicest gifts of heaven (C)above,[a]
and of the deep that crouches beneath,
14 with the choicest fruits of the sun
and the rich yield of the months,
15 with the finest produce of the ancient mountains
and the abundance of (D)the everlasting hills,
16 with the best gifts of the earth and (E)its fullness
and the favor of (F)him who dwells in the bush.
May these rest on the head of Joseph,
on the pate of him who is prince among his brothers.
17 (G)A firstborn bull[b]—he has majesty,
and his horns are the horns of a (H)wild ox;
with them (I)he shall gore the peoples,
all of them, to the ends of the earth;
(J)they are the ten thousands of Ephraim,
and they are the thousands of Manasseh.”

Genesis 49:22-26
English Standard Version
22 “Joseph is (A)a fruitful bough,
a fruitful bough by a spring;
his branches run over the wall.[a]
23 The archers (B)bitterly attacked him,
shot at him, and harassed him severely,
24 yet (C)his bow remained unmoved;
his arms[b] were made agile
by the hands of the (D)Mighty One of Jacob
(from there is (E)the Shepherd,[c] (F)the Stone of Israel),
25 (G)by the God of your father who will help you,
by (H)the Almighty[d] (I)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 (J)of the everlasting hills.[e]
May they be (K)on the head of Joseph,
and on the brow of him who was set apart from his brothers.
