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

And for the good will of ehim that dwelt in dthe bush:

Let othe blessing come fupon the head of Joseph,

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

17His glory is like the gfirstling of his bullock,

And his horns are like hthe horns of †unicorns:

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

And kthey are the ten thousands of Ephraim,

And they are the thousands of Manasseh.

and the favor of him who dwells in the bush.

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.”

Such are the ten thousands of Ephraim;

such are the thousands of Manasseh.”

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 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.”
