22 Joseph is a disciplined son, an educated son; a fruitful bough by a spring, whose branches run over the wall. 23 A company of men quarreled with him, and being great in numbers, envied him; 24 But in strength he bent his bow, and his arms were made strong by the hands of the mighty One of Jacob; (by the name of the Shepherd, the Strength of Israel:) 25 May the God of your father help you and the Almighty bless you with the blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep beneath, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb; 26 The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of my forbears to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills; they shall be on the head of Joseph, on the crown of the head of him who is the prince of his brothers. 27 Benjamin is a plundering wolf; in the morning he shall devour the prey, and in the evening he shall divide the spoil.
