12. He said about Benjamin:The Lord’s beloved rests securely on Him.He shields him all day long,and he rests on His shoulders.
13. He said about Joseph:May his land be blessed by the Lordwith the dew of heaven’s bountyand the watery depths that lie beneath;
14. with the bountiful harvest from the sunand the abundant yield of the seasons;
15. with the best products of the ancient mountainsand the bounty of the eternal hills;
16. with the choice gifts of the landand everything in it;and with the favor of Himwho appeared in the burning bush. May these rest on the head of Joseph,on the crown of the prince of his brothers.
17. His firstborn bull has splendor,and horns like those of a wild ox;he gores all the peoples with themto the ends of the earth.Such are the ten thousands of Ephraim,and such are the thousands of Manasseh.
