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;g

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;h

16 with the choice gifts of the land

and everything in it;

and with the favor of him

who appearedJ in the burning bush.i

May these rest on the head of Joseph,

on the brow of the prince of his brothers.j

17 His firstborn bull hasK splendor,

and horns likeL 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.
