Genesis 49:22-26

22“1Joseph is a fruitful 2branch, A fruitful 3branch by a spring; Its 4branches hang over a wall.23The archers provoked him, And shot at him and were hostile toward him;24But his 5bow remained 6firm, And 78his arms were agile, From the hands of the 9Mighty One of Jacob (From there is 10the Shepherd, 11the Stone of Israel),25From 12the God of your father who helps you, And 1314by the 15Almighty who blesses you With 16blessings of heaven above, Blessings of the deep that lies beneath, Blessings of the breasts and of the womb.26The blessings of your father Have surpassed the blessings of my ancestors Up to the 17furthest boundary of 18the everlasting hills; May they be on the head of Joseph, And on the top of the head of the one distinguished among his brothers.
