16Let 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.

17Joseph 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.”

and the favor of him who dwells in the bush.

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.”

and horns like those of a wild ox;

he gores all the peoples with them

to the ends of the earth.

and such are the thousands of Manasseh.

crowning the brow of the prince among his brothers.

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 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.”

KJV 1900King James Version

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.
