Genesis 49:22-28

Genesis 49:22-28 NCV

“Joseph is like a grapevine that produces much fruit, a healthy vine watered by a spring, whose branches grow over the wall. Archers attack him violently and shoot at him angrily, but he aims his bow well. His arms are made strong. He gets his power from the Mighty God of Jacob and his strength from the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel. Your father’s God helps you. God Almighty blesses you. He blesses you with rain from above, with water from springs below, with many babies born to your wives, and many young ones born to your animals. The blessings of your father are greater than the blessings of the oldest mountains, greater than the good things of the long-lasting hills. May these blessings rest on the head of Joseph, on the forehead of the one who was separated from his brothers. “Benjamin is like a hungry wolf. In the morning he eats what he has caught, and in the evening he divides what he has taken.” These are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father said to them. He gave each son the blessing that was right for him.
