Genesis 49:22-27
22JosephH3130 is a fruitfulH6509 bough,A fruitfulH6509 bough by a fountain;His branches run over the wallH7791.23The archers have sorely grieved him,And shot at him, and persecuted him:24But his bowH7198 abode in strengthH2220,And the armsH2220 of his handsH3027 were made strong, By the handsH3027 of the MightyH46 OneH46 of JacobH3290 (From thence is the shepherdH7462, the stoneH68 of IsraelH3478),25Even by the GodH410 of thy fatherH1, who shall helpH5826 thee,And by the AlmightyH7706, who shall blessH1288 thee,With blessingsH1293 of heavenH8064 above,BlessingsH1293 of the deepH8415 that coucheth beneath,BlessingsH1293 of the breastsH7699, and of the wombH7356.26The blessingsH1293 of thy fatherH1Have prevailedH1396 above the blessingsH1293 of my progenitorsUnto the utmost bound of the everlasting hillsH1389:They shall beH1961 on the headH7218 of JosephH3130,And on the crown of the headH7218 of him that wasH1961 separate from his brethren.27BenjaminH1144 is a wolfH2061 that raveneth:In the morningH1242 he shall devourH398 the prey,And at even he shall divideH2505 the spoilH7998.
