^t“Blessed by the Lord be his land,

with the choicest gifts of heaven ^uabove,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 ^vthe everlasting hills,

16  with the best gifts of the earth and ^wits fullness

and the favor of ^xhim 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  ^yA firstborn bull²—he has majesty,

and his horns are the horns of a ^zwild ox;

with them ^ahe shall gore the peoples,

all of them, to the ends of the earth;

^bthey are the ten thousands of Ephraim,

and they are the thousands of Manasseh.”
