Genesis 49:26-28
English Standard Version
26 The blessings of your father
are mighty beyond the blessings of my parents,
up to the bounties (A)of the everlasting hills.[a]
May they be (B)on the head of Joseph,
and on the brow of him who was set apart from his brothers.
27 (C)“Benjamin is a ravenous wolf,
in the morning devouring the prey
and at evening (D)dividing the spoil.”
Jacob's Death and Burial
28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel. This is what their father said to them as he blessed them, blessing each with the blessing suitable to him.
