Blessing on Joseph
13 Of Joseph he said:
“May the Lord bless his land
with the harvest produced by the sky,[a] by the dew,
and by the depths crouching beneath;

and by[c] the moonlight;[d]
15 with the best[e] of the ancient mountains
and the harvest produced by the age-old hills;
Footnotes
- Deuteronomy 33:13 tn Heb “from the harvest of the heavens.” The referent appears to be good crops produced by the rain that falls from the sky.
- Deuteronomy 33:14 tn Heb “goings forth of the sun.”
- Deuteronomy 33:14 tn Heb “and from the harvest of the yield of.” This has been simplified in the translation to avoid redundancy.
- Deuteronomy 33:14 tn Heb “the moon.” Many English versions regard this as a reference to “months” (“moons”) rather than the moon itself (cf. NAB, NASB, NRSV, NLT).
- Deuteronomy 33:15 tn Heb “head” or “top.”
