11. Lord, make them strong;be pleased with the work they do.Defeat those who attack them,and don’t let their enemies rise up again.”
12. Moses said this about the people of Benjamin:“The Lord’s loved ones will lie down in safety,because he protects them all day long.The ones he loves rest with him.”
13. Moses said this about the people of Joseph:“May the Lord bless their land with wonderful dew from heaven,with water from the springs below,
14. with the best fruits that the sun brings,and with the best fruits that the moon brings.
15. Let the old mountains give the finest crops,and let the everlasting hills give the best fruits.
16. Let the full earth give the best fruits,and let the Lord who lived in the burning bush be pleased.May these blessings rest on the head of Joseph,on the forehead of the one who was blessed among his brothers.
17. Joseph has the majesty of a firstborn bull;he is as strong as a wild ox.He will stab other nations,even those nations far away.These are the ten thousands of Ephraim,and these are the thousands of Manasseh.”
