22 Joseph a fruitful son, a fruitful son upon a fountain, the daughters mounting over a wall. 23 This adversary will embitter him, and the lords of the arrows will lie in wait. 24 And his bow will dwell in strength, and the seed of his hands will be firm by the hands of the mighty one of Jacob; from whence the shepherd, the stone of Israel. 25 By the God of thy father, and he will help thee, and by the Almighty, and he will bless thee with the blessing of the heavens above, the blessing of the sea lying under, the blessing of the breasts and the womb. 26 The blessings of thy father were strong above the blessings of the everlasting mountains; the delight of the eternal hills, they shall be upon the head of Joseph and upon the crown of the head of him separated from his brethren. 27 Benjamin, a Wolf, tearing in pieces; in the morning will he eat the prey, and at evening he will divide the prey. 28 All these tribes of Israel, twelve: and this what their father spake to them, and he will bless them; each according to his blessing he blessed them. 29 And he will command them, and will say to them, I am added to my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave which is in the field of Ephron the Hittite. 30 In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamra in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite, for the possession of a grave. 31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaak and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah. 32 The possession of the field and the cave which is in it, from the sons of Heth. 33 And Jacob will finish to command his sons, and he will gather his feet to the bed, and will expire, and will be gathered to his people.
