13 About Joseph he said:

“May the Lord bless his land

with the precious dew from heaven above

and with the deep waters that lie below;

14 with the best the sun brings forth

and the finest the moon can yield;

15 with the choicest gifts of the ancient mountains

and the fruitfulness of the everlasting hills;

16 with the best gifts of the earth and its fullness

and the favor of him who dwelt in the burning bush.

Let all these rest on the head of Joseph,

on the brow of the prince among his brothers.

17 In majesty he is like a firstborn bull;

his horns are the horns of a wild ox.

With them he will gore the nations,

even those at the ends of the earth.

Such are the ten thousands of Ephraim;

such are the thousands of Manasseh.”

13 And of Joseph he said,

Blessed of the Lord be his land,

For the precious things of heaven, for the dew,

And for the deep that coucheth beneath,

14 And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun,

And for the precious things put forth by the moon,

15 And for the chief things of the ancient mountains,

And for the precious things of the lasting hills,

16 And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof,

And for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush:

Let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph,

And upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.

17 His glory is like the firstling of his bullock,

And his horns are like the horns of unicorns:

With them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth:

And they are the ten thousands of Ephraim,

And they are the thousands of Manasseh.

13 Moses said this about the tribes of Joseph:

“May their land be blessed by the Lord

with the precious gift of dew from the heavens

and water from beneath the earth;

14 with the rich fruit that grows in the sun,

and the rich harvest produced each month;

15 with the finest crops of the ancient mountains,

and the abundance from the everlasting hills;

16 with the best gifts of the earth and its bounty,

and the favor of the one who appeared in the burning bush.

May these blessings rest on Joseph’s head,

crowning the brow of the prince among his brothers.

17 Joseph has the majesty of a young bull;

he has the horns of a wild ox.

He will gore distant nations,

even to the ends of the earth.

This is my blessing for the multitudes of Ephraim

and the thousands of Manasseh.”

13 And of Joseph he said:

“Blessed of the Lord is his land,

With the precious things of heaven, with the dew,

And the deep lying beneath,

14 With the precious fruits of the sun,

With the precious produce of the months,

15 With the best things of the ancient mountains,

With the precious things of the everlasting hills,

16 With the precious things of the earth and its fullness,

And the favor of Him who dwelt in the bush.

Let the blessing come ‘on the head of Joseph,

And on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.’

17 His glory is like a firstborn bull,

And his horns like the horns of the wild ox;

Together with them

He shall push the peoples

To the ends of the earth;

They are the ten thousands of Ephraim,

And they are the thousands of Manasseh.”

13 Moses said this about the people of Joseph:

“May the Lord bless their land with wonderful dew from heaven,

with water from the springs below,

14 with the best fruits that the sun brings,

and with the best fruits that the moon brings.

15 Let the old mountains give the finest crops,

and let the everlasting hills give the best fruits.

16 Let the full earth give the best fruits,

and let the Lord who lived in the burning bush be pleased.

May these blessings rest on the head of Joseph,

on the forehead of the one who was blessed among his brothers.

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.”

13 And of Joseph he said,

Blessed of Jehovah be his land,

For the precious things of heaven, for the dew,

And for the deep that coucheth beneath,

14 And for the precious things of the fruits of the sun,

And for the precious things of the growth of the moons,

15 And for the chief things of the ancient mountains,

And for the precious things of the everlasting hills,

16 And for the precious things of the earth and the fulness thereof,

And the good will of him that dwelt in the bush.

Let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph,

And upon the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.

17 The firstling of his herd, majesty is his;

And his horns are the horns of the wild-ox:

With them he shall push the peoples all of them, even the ends of the earth:

And they are the ten thousands of Ephraim,

And they are the thousands of Manasseh.

13 And of Joseph he said, Blessed of Jehovah be his land! By the precious things of the heavens, By the dew, and by the deep that lieth beneath, 14 And by the precious fruits of the sun, And by the precious things put forth by the months, 15 And by the best things of the ancient mountains, And by the precious things of the everlasting hills, 16 And by the precious things of the earth and the fulness thereof. And let the good will of him that dwelt in the bush Come upon the head of Joseph, Upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren. 17 His majesty is as the firstling of his ox; And his horns are as the horns of a buffalo. With them shall he push the peoples Together to the ends of the earth. These are the myriads of Ephraim, And these are the thousands of Manasseh.

13 About the tribes of Joseph he said, 

“May the Lord bless their land with ⸤water,⸥ 

the best gift heaven can send, 

with dew and deep springs below the ground. 

14 May the Lord bless their land with crops, 

the best gift the sun can give, 

the best produce of each month, 

15 the finest fruits from the oldest mountains, 

the best from the ancient hills, 

16 and the most plentiful crops of the earth. 

May the Lord bless their land with the favor 

of the one who was in the burning bush. 

May these blessings come to the tribes of Joseph. 

May they crown the people who are like princes in Israel. 

17 They will be as majestic as a firstborn bull. 

Their horns will be like the horns of a wild ox. 

They will use them to push away nations 

including those at the ends of the earth. 

The tens of thousands from the tribe of Ephraim 

and the thousands from the tribe of Manasseh will be like this.” 

13 He said about Joseph:

May his land be blessed by the Lord

with the dew of heaven’s bounty

and the watery depths that lie beneath;

14 with the bountiful harvest from the sun

and the abundant yield of the seasons;

15 with the best products of the ancient mountains

and the bounty of the eternal hills;

16 with the choice gifts of the land

and everything in it;

and with the favor of Him

who 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 them

to the ends of the earth.

Such are the ten thousands of Ephraim,

and such are the thousands of Manasseh.

13 And of Joseph he said:

Blessed by the Lord be his land,

with the choice gifts of heaven above,

and of the deep that lies beneath;

14 with the choice fruits of the sun,

and the rich yield of the months;

15 with the finest produce of the ancient mountains,

and the abundance of the everlasting hills;

16 with the choice gifts of the earth and its fullness,

and the favor of the one who dwells on Sinai.

Let these come on the head of Joseph,

on the brow of the prince among his brothers.

17 A firstborn bull—majesty is his!

His horns are the horns of a wild ox;

with them he gores the peoples,

driving them to the ends of the earth;

such are the myriads of Ephraim,

such the thousands of Manasseh.

13 And of Joseph he said,

“Blessed by Yahweh is his land,

with the choice things of heaven,

with dew, and with the deep lying down beneath,

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.

17 As the firstborn of his ox, majesty belongs to him,

and his horns are the horns of a wild ox;

with them he drives people together,

and they are the myriads of Ephraim,

and they are the thousands of Manasseh.”

13 Here’s what Moses said about Joseph.

“May the Lord bless Joseph’s land.

May he bless it with dew from the highest heavens.

May he bless it with water from the deepest oceans.

14 May he bless it with the best crops the sun can produce.

May he bless it with the finest crops the moon can give.

15 May he bless it with the best products of the age-old mountains.

May he bless it with the many crops of the ancient hills.

16 May he bless it with the best gifts that fill the earth.

May he bless it with the favor of the One who spoke out of the burning bush.

Let all of those blessings rest on the head of Joseph.

Let them rest on the head of the one who is prince among his brothers.

17 His glory is like the glory of a bull that was born first to its mother.

His horns are like the horns of a wild ox.

He will destroy the nations with them.

He’ll wipe out the nations that are very far away.

The ten thousands of men in Ephraim’s army are like the bull and the ox.

So are the thousands in the army of Manasseh.”

13 Of Joseph he said,

“Blessed of the Lord be his land,

With the choice things of heaven, with the dew,

And from the deep lying beneath,

14 And with the choice yield of the sun,

And with the choice produce of the months.

15 “And with the best things of the ancient mountains,

And with the choice things of the everlasting hills,

16 And with the choice things of the earth and its fullness,

And the favor of Him who dwelt in the bush.

Let it come to the head of Joseph,

And to the crown of the head of the one distinguished among his brothers.

17 “As the firstborn of his ox, majesty is his,

And his horns are the horns of the wild ox;

With them he will push the peoples,

All at once, to the ends of the earth.

And those are the ten thousands of Ephraim,

And those are the thousands of Manasseh.”
