Genesis 49:24-26

Contemporary English Version

²⁴ But you stood your ground,
    swiftly shooting back
with the help of Jacob's God,
    the All-Powerful One—
his name is the Shepherd,
    Israel's mighty rock.^[a]
25 Your help came from the God
your father worshiped,
    from God All-Powerful.
God will bless you with rain
    and streams from the earth;
he will bless you
    with many descendants.
²⁶ My son, the blessings I give
are better than the promise
    of ancient mountains
    or eternal hills.^[b]
Joseph, I pray these blessings
    will come to you,
because you are the leader
    of your brothers.
