14. and with the choice things of the fruits of the the sun, and with the choice things of the yield of the seasons,
15. and with the finest things of the ancient mountains, and with the choice things of the eternal hills,
16. and with the choice things of the earth and its fullness, and the favor of the one who dwelt in the bush. Let them come to the head of Joseph, and to the crown of the prince among his brothers.
