16 Please fill their land with many good things.
Lord who appeared in the burning bush,
    please be kind to them.
Please bless Joseph's descendants.
He became a leader, separate from his brothers.
    May this blessing be like a crown on his head!
17 Joseph is as strong as a bull.
    He has horns like a wild ox.

With them, he attacks other nations.
    He chases them to the edges of the world.

18 I pray this for the tribes of Zebulun and Issachar:
Be happy, Zebulun's people, as you travel far from home.
Be happy, Issachar's people, as you live in your homes.
