Genesis 49:22-26 - NASB Online

GENESIS 49:22-26

22 “Joseph is a fruitful bough,

A fruitful bough by a spring;

Its branches run over a wall.

23 “The archers bitterly attacked him,

And shot at him and harassed him;

24 But his bow remained firm,

And his arms were agile,

From the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob

(From there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel),

25 From the God of your father who helps you,

And by the Almighty who blesses you

With blessings of heaven above,

Blessings of the deep that lies beneath,

Blessings of the breasts and of the womb.

26 “The blessings of your father

Have surpassed the blessings of my ancestors

Up to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills;

May they be on the head of Joseph,

And on the crown of the head of the one distinguished among his brothers.
