And he shall turne them to flyght. 20 Off Asser cometh fatt breed and he shall geue pleasures for a kynge. 21 Nepthali is a swyft hynde ad geueth goodly wordes. 22 That florishynge childe Ioseph that florishing childe and goodly vn to the eye: the doughters come forth to bere ruele. 23 The shoters haue envyed him and chyde with him ad hated him 24 and yet his bowe bode fast and his armes and his handes were stronge by the handes of the myghtye God of Iacob: out of him shall come an herde ma a stone in Israel. 25 Thi fathers God shall helpe the and the almightie shall blesse the with blessinges from heaven aboue and with blessinges of the water that lieth vnder and with blessinges of the brestes and of the wombe. 26 The blessinges o f thy father were stronge: euen as the blessinges of my elders after the desyre of the hiest in the worlde and these blessinges shall fall on the head of Ioseph and on the toppe of the head of him yt was separat from his brethern. 27 Ben Iamin is a raueshynge wolfe.

I shall be put vnto my people: se that ye burye me with my fathers in the caue that is in the felde of Ephron the Hethyte 30 in the double caue that is in the felde before Mamre in the lande of Canaan. Which felde Abraham boughte of Ephron the Hethite for a possessio to burye in. 31 There they buryed Abraha and Sara his wyfe there they buryed Isaac and Rebecca his wyfe. And there I buried Lea: 32 which felde and the caue that is therin was bought of the childern of Heth. 33 When Iacob had commaunded all that he wold vnto his sonnes be plucked vp his fete apon the bedd and dyed and was put vnto his people.
