17 Joseph is as strong as a bull.
    He has horns like a wild ox.
Those two horns are the armies of Ephraim and Manasseh![a]
With them, he attacks other nations.
    He chases them to the edges of the world.

18 I pray this for the tribes of Zebulun and Issachar:
Be happy, Zebulun's people, as you travel far from home.
Be happy, Issachar's people, as you live in your homes.
19 They will call other people to come to their mountain.
    They will offer the right sacrifices there.
They will become rich from their work on the seas,
    and from things that are hidden in the sand on the shore.
