Genesis 49:18-28 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

18. For Thy salvation I have waited, Jehovah!

19. Gad! a troop assaulteth him, But he assaulteth last.

20. Out of Asher his bread [is] fat; And he giveth dainties of a king.

21. Naphtali [is] a hind sent away, Who is giving beauteous young ones.

22. Joseph [is] a fruitful son; A fruitful son by a fountain, Daughters step over the wall;

23. And embitter him--yea, they have striven, Yea, hate him do archers;

24. And his bow abideth in strength, And strengthened are the arms of his hands By the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, Whence is a shepherd, a son of Israel.

25. By the God of thy father who helpeth thee, And the Mighty One who blesseth thee, Blessings of the heavens from above, Blessings of the deep lying under, Blessings of breasts and womb; --

26. Thy father's blessings have been mighty Above the blessings of my progenitors, Unto the limit of the heights age-during They are for the head of Joseph, And for the crown of the one Separate [from] his brethren.

27. Benjamin! a wolf teareth; In the morning he eateth prey, And at evening he apportioneth spoil.'

28. All these [are] the twelve tribes of Israel, and this [is] that which their father hath spoken unto them, and he blesseth them; each according to his blessing he hath blessed them.
