Moses' Final Blessing on Israel

¹³ And _s of Joseph he said,
_t "Blessed by the Lord be his land,
with the choicest gifts of heaven _u above, ₁
and of the deep that crouches beneath,
¹⁴ with the choicest fruits of the sun
and the rich yield of the months,
¹⁵ with the finest produce of the ancient mountains
and the abundance of _v the everlasting hills,
¹⁶ with the best gifts of the earth and _w its fullness
and the favor of _x him who dwells in the bush.
May these rest on the head of Joseph,
on the pate of him who is prince among his brothers.
¹⁷ _y A firstborn bull ₂ - he has majesty,
and his horns are the horns of a _z wild ox;
with them _a he shall gore the peoples,
all of them, to the ends of the earth;
_b they are the ten thousands of Ephraim,
and they are the thousands of Manasseh."
