17. Joseph has the majesty of a firstborn bull.He is as strong as a wild ox.He will stab other nations,even those nations far away.These are the ten thousands of Ephraim.And these are the thousands of Manasseh.”
18. Moses said this about the people of Zebulun:“Be happy when you go out, Zebulun.And be happy in your tents, Issachar.
19. They will call the people to the mountain.And there they will offer the right sacrifices.They will do well from all that is in the sea.And they will do well from the treasures hidden in the sand on the shore.”
20. Moses said this about the people of Gad:“Praise God who gives Gad more land!Gad lives there like a lion.He tears off arms and heads.
21. They chose the best land for themselves.They received a large share, like that given to an officer.When the leaders of the people gathered,the people of Gad did what the Lord said was right.And they judged Israel fairly.”
