Genesis 49:24-26
International Standard Version
24 nevertheless his bow remained steady
and his arms kept in shape
by the strength of Jacob’s Mighty One,
in the name of the Shepherd,
Israel’s Rock,
25 by your father’s God
who helps you,
by the Almighty
who will keep on blessing you
with blessings from heaven above,
with blessings from the deepest ocean,
with blessing from the breasts and the womb.
26 Your father’s blessings will prove to be stronger
than blessings from the eternal mountains
or bounties from the everlasting hills.
May they come to rest on Joseph’s head,
May they be set upon the brow of the one
who was separated from his own brothers.”
Genesis 49:24-26

because of the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob,(C)
because of the Shepherd,(D) the Rock of Israel,(E)
25 because of your father’s God,(F) who helps(G) you,
because of the Almighty,[b](H) who blesses you
with blessings of the skies above,
blessings of the deep springs below,(I)
blessings of the breast(J) and womb.(K)
26 Your father’s blessings are greater
than the blessings of the ancient mountains,
than[c] the bounty of the age-old hills.(L)
Let all these rest on the head of Joseph,(M)
on the brow of the prince among[d] his brothers.(N)
