They shall put incense before You, And a whole burnt sacrifice on Your altar.Bless his substance, Lord, And accept the work of his hands; Strike the loins of those who rise against him, And of those who hate him, that they rise not again.”Of Benjamin he said:“ The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by Him, Who shelters him all the day long; And he shall dwell between His shoulders.”And of Joseph he said:“ Blessed of the Lord is his land, With the precious things of heaven, with the dew, And the deep lying beneath,With the precious fruits of the sun, With the precious produce of the months,With the best things of the ancient mountains, With the precious things of the everlasting hills,With the precious things of the earth and its fullness, And the favor of Him who dwelt in the bush. Let the blessing come‘ on the head of Joseph, And on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.’His glory is like a firstborn bull, And his horns like the horns of the wild ox; Together with them He shall push the peoples To the ends of the earth; They are the ten thousands of Ephraim, And they are the thousands of Manasseh.”And of Zebulun he said:“ Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out, And Issachar in your tents!They shall call the peoples to the mountain; There they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness; For they shall partake of the abundance of the seas And of treasures hidden in the sand.”And of Gad he said:“ Blessed is he who enlarges Gad; He dwells as a lion, And tears the arm and the crown of his head.He provided the first part for himself, Because a lawgiver’s portion was reserved there. He came with the heads of the people; He administered the justice of the Lord, And His judgments with Israel.”And of Dan he said:“ Dan is a lion’s whelp; He shall leap from Bashan.”And of Naphtali he said:“ O Naphtali, satisfied with favor, And full of the blessing of the Lord, Possess the west and the south.”And of Asher he said:“ Asher is most blessed of sons; Let him be favored by his brothers, And let him dip his foot in oil.Your sandals shall be iron and bronze; As your days, so shall your strength be.“ There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, Who rides the heavens to help you, And in His excellency on the clouds.The eternal God is your refuge, And underneath are the everlasting arms; He will thrust out the enemy from before you, And will say,‘ Destroy!’Then Israel shall dwell in safety, The fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine; His heavens shall also drop dew.Happy are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord, The shield of your help And the sword of your majesty! Your enemies shall submit to you, And you shall tread down their high places.”
