“Ah, the smell of my son
    is like the smell of a field
    that the Lord has blessed.^(D)
28 May God give you heaven’s dew^(E)
    and earth’s richness^(F)—
    an abundance of grain^(G) and new wine.^(H)

²² “Joseph^(A) is a fruitful vine,^(B)
    a fruitful vine near a spring,
    whose branches^(C) climb over a wall.^[a]
23 With bitterness archers attacked him;^(D)
    they shot at him with hostility.^(E)
24 But his bow remained steady,^(F)
    his strong arms^(G) stayed^[b] limber,
because of the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob,^(H)
    because of the Shepherd,^(I) the Rock of Israel,^(J)
25 because of your father’s God,^(K) who helps^(L) you,
    because of the Almighty,^[c](M) who blesses you
with blessings of the skies above,
    blessings of the deep springs below,^(N)
    blessings of the breast^(O) and womb.^(P)
26 Your father’s blessings are greater
    than the blessings of the ancient mountains,
    than^[d] the bounty of the age-old hills.^(Q)
Let all these rest on the head of Joseph,^(R)
    on the brow of the prince among^[e] his brothers.^(S)
