Genesis 49:22-27

22“Joseph is a fruitful bough, A fruitful bough by a well; His branches run over the wall.

23The archers have bitterly grieved him, Shot at him and hated him.

24But his bow remained in strength, And the arms of his hands were made strong By the hands of the Mighty God of Jacob (From there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel),

25By the God of your father who will help you, And by the Almighty who will bless you With blessings of heaven above, Blessings of the deep that lies beneath, Blessings of the breasts and of the womb.

26The blessings of your father Have excelled the blessings of my ancestors, Up to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills. They shall be on the head of Joseph, And on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.

27“Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; In the morning he shall devour the prey, And at night he shall divide the spoil.”
