15 the finest fruits from the oldest mountains,
    the best from the ancient hills,
16 and the most plentiful crops of the earth.
May Yahweh bless their land with the favor
    of the one who was in the burning bush.
May these blessings come to the tribes of Joseph.
May they crown the people who are like princes in Israel.
17 They will be as majestic as a firstborn bull.
    Their horns will be like the horns of a wild ox.
    They will use them to push away nations
        including those at the ends of the earth.
The tens of thousands from the tribe of Ephraim
    and the thousands from the tribe of Manasseh will be like this.”
