Genesis 49:22-27

22JosephH3130 is a fruitfulH6509 boughH1121, A fruitfulH6509 boughH1121 by a fountain; His branchesH1323 runH6805 over the wallH7791.

23The archers have sorely grieved him, And shot at him, and persecuted him:

24But his bowH7198 abodeH3427 in strengthH2220, And the armsH2220 of his handsH3027 were made strong, By the handsH3027 of the MightyH46 One of JacobH3290, (From thence is the shepherdH7462, the stoneH68 of IsraelH3478,)

25EvenH853 by the GodH410 of thy fatherH1, who shall helpH5826 thee, And by the AlmightyH7706, who shall blessH1288 thee, With blessingsH1293 of heavenH8064 aboveH5921, BlessingsH1293 of the deepH8415 that coucheth beneathH8478, BlessingsH1293 of the breastsH7699, and of the wombH7356.

26The blessingsH1293 of thy fatherH1 Have prevailedH1396 aboveH5921 the blessingsH1293 of my progenitors Unto the utmostH8379 boundH8379 of the everlastingH5769 hillsH1389: They shall be on the headH7218 of JosephH3130, And on the crownH6936 of the headH7218 of him that was separate from his brethrenH251.

27BenjaminH1144 is a wolfH2061 that ravineth: In the morningH1242 he shall devourH398 the preyH5706, And at even he shall divideH2505 the spoilH7998.
