“May the Lord bless his land
    with the precious dew from heaven above
    and with the deep waters that lie below;^(B)
14 with the best the sun brings forth
    and the finest the moon can yield;
¹⁵ with the choicest gifts of the ancient mountains^(C)
    and the fruitfulness of the everlasting hills;
¹⁶ with the best gifts of the earth and its fullness
    and the favor of him who dwelt in the burning bush.^(D)
Let all these rest on the head of Joseph,
    on the brow of the prince among^[a] his brothers.^(E)
17 In majesty he is like a firstborn bull;
    his horns^(F) are the horns of a wild ox.^(G)
With them he will gore^(H) the nations,
    even those at the ends of the earth.
Such are the ten thousands of Ephraim;^(I)
    such are the thousands of Manasseh.^(J)”

²² “Joseph^(A) is a fruitful vine,^(B)
    a fruitful vine near a spring,
    whose branches^(C) climb over a wall.^[a]
23 With bitterness archers attacked him;^(D)
    they shot at him with hostility.^(E)
24 But his bow remained steady,^(F)
    his strong arms^(G) stayed^[b] limber,
because of the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob,^(H)
    because of the Shepherd,^(I) the Rock of Israel,^(J)
25 because of your father’s God,^(K) who helps^(L) you,
    because of the Almighty,^[c](M) who blesses you
with blessings of the skies above,
    blessings of the deep springs below,^(N)
    blessings of the breast^(O) and womb.^(P)
26 Your father’s blessings are greater
    than the blessings of the ancient mountains,
    than^[d] the bounty of the age-old hills.^(Q)
Let all these rest on the head of Joseph,^(R)
    on the brow of the prince among^[e] his brothers.^(S)
