Context of Deuteronomy 33:14
12He said about Benjamin: The Lord’s beloved rests securely on him. He shields him all day long, and he rests on his shoulders. 13He 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; 15with the best products of the ancient mountains and the bounty of the eternal hills; 16with 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.
