23. Men attack him violently with arrows.They shoot at him angrily.
24. But he aims his bow well.His arms are made strong.He gets his power from the Mighty God of Jacob.He gets his strength from the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel.
25. Your father’s God helps you.God All-Powerful blesses you.He blesses you with rain from above.He blesses you with water from springs below.He blesses you with many babies born to your wives.He blesses you with many young ones born to your animals.
26. The blessings of your father are greaterthan the blessings of the oldest mountains.They are greater than the good things of the long-lasting hills.May these blessings rest on the head of Joseph.May they rest on the forehead of the one who was separated from his brothers.
27. “Benjamin is like a hungry wolf.In the morning he eats what he has caught.In the evening he divides what he has taken.”
28. These are the 12 tribes of Israel. And this is what their father said to them. He gave each son the blessing that was right for him.
