16 And for the precious things of the earth and the fulness thereof,
And the good will of him that dwelt in the bush.
Let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph,
And upon the crown of the head of him [a]that was separate from his brethren.

Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out;
And, Issachar, in thy tents.
