Genesis 27:27-28
New American Standard Bible
27 So he came close and kissed him; and when he smelled the smell of his garments, he (A)blessed him and said,
“See, (B)the smell of my son
Is like the smell of a field (C)which the Lord has blessed;
28 Now may (D)God give you of the dew of heaven,
And of the (E)fatness of the earth,
And an abundance of grain and new wine;
Genesis 49:22-26
New American Standard Bible
22 “(A)Joseph is a fruitful [a]branch,
A fruitful [b]branch by a spring;
Its [c]branches hang over a wall.
23 The archers provoked him,
And shot at him and were hostile toward him;
24 But his (B)bow remained [d]firm,
And [e](C)his arms were agile,
From the hands of the (D)Mighty One of Jacob
(From there is (E)the Shepherd, (F)the Stone of Israel),
25 From (G)the God of your father who helps you,
And [f](H)by the [g]Almighty who blesses you
With (I)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 [h]furthest boundary of (J)the everlasting hills;
May they be on the head of Joseph,
And on the top of the head of the one distinguished among his brothers.
