16. With the precious things of the earth and its fullness,And the favor of Him who dwelt in the bush.Let the blessing come ‘on the head of Joseph,And on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.’
17. His glory is like a firstborn bull,And his horns like the horns of the wild ox;Together with themHe shall push the peoplesTo the ends of the earth;They are the ten thousands of Ephraim,And they are the thousands of Manasseh.”
18. And of Zebulun he said:“Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out,And Issachar in your tents!
19. They shall call the peoples to the mountain;There they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness;For they shall partake of the abundance of the seasAnd of treasures hidden in the sand.”
20. And of Gad he said:“Blessed is he who enlarges Gad;He dwells as a lion,And tears the arm and the crown of his head.
21. He provided the first part for himself,Because a lawgiver’s portion was reserved there.He came with the heads of the people;He administered the justice of the Lord,And His judgments with Israel.”
22. And of Dan he said:“Dan is a lion’s whelp;He shall leap from Bashan.”
