Deuteronomy 33:13–17

And of Joseph he said,

“Blessed by the Lord be his land,

with the choicest gifts of heaven above,

and of the deep that crouches beneath,

with the choicest fruits of the sun

and the rich yield of the months,

with the finest produce of the ancient mountains

and the abundance of the everlasting hills,

with the best gifts of the earth and its fullness

and the favor of him who dwells in the bush.

May these rest on the head of Joseph,

on the pate of him who is prince among his brothers.

A firstborn bull—he has majesty,

and his horns are the horns of a wild ox;

with them he shall gore the peoples,

all of them, to the ends of the earth;

they are the ten thousands of Ephraim,

and they are the thousands of Manasseh.”

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;

with the best the sun brings forth

and the finest the moon can yield;

with the choicest gifts of the ancient mountains

and the fruitfulness of the everlasting hills;

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.

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.”

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;

with the bountiful harvest from the sun

and the abundant yield of the seasons;

with the best products of the ancient mountains

and the bounty of the eternal hills;

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 brow of the prince of his brothers.

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.

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;

with the rich fruit that grows in the sun,

and the rich harvest produced each month;

with the finest crops of the ancient mountains,

and the abundance from the everlasting hills;

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.

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.”

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,

and with the choice things of the fruits of the the sun,

and with the choice things of the yield of the seasons,

and with the finest things of the ancient mountains,

and with the choice things of the eternal hills,

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.

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.”

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,

And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun,

And for the precious things put forth by the moon,

And for the chief things of the ancient mountains,

And for the precious things of the lasting hills,

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.

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.
