Deuteronomy 33:10-16 English Standard Version (ESV)

10. They shall teach Jacob your rulesand Israel your law; they shall put incense before youand whole burnt offerings on your altar.

11. Bless, O Lord, his substance,and accept the work of his hands;crush the loins of his adversaries,of those who hate him, that they rise not again.”

12. Of Benjamin he said,“The beloved of the Lord dwells in safety.The High God surrounds him all day long,and dwells between his shoulders.”

13. And of Joseph he said, “Blessed by the Lord be his land,with the choicest gifts of heaven above,and of the deep that crouches beneath,

14. with the choicest fruits of the sunand the rich yield of the months,

15. with the finest produce of the ancient mountainsand the abundance of the everlasting hills,

16. with the best gifts of the earth and its fullnessand the favor of 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.
