22. Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a fountain, whose daughters run over the wall.
23. The arches have sorely grieved him and shot at him and hated him;
24. but his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the Mighty one of Jacob; from there did the stone of Israel shepherd,
25. by the God of thy father, who shall help thee, and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of the heavens above, with blessings of the deep that lies under, with blessings of the breasts and of the womb.
26. The blessings of thy father were greater than the blessings of my progenitors; unto the borders of the eternal hills they shall be upon the head of Joseph and on the crown of the Nazarite of his brethren.
27. Benjamin, ravening wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and in the evening he shall divide the spoil.
28. All these were the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke unto them and blessed them; each one according to his blessing he blessed them.
