Deuteronomy 33:16-18
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
16 with the choice gifts of the earth and its fullness,
and the favour of the one who dwells on Sinai.[a]
Let these come on the head of Joseph,
on the brow of the prince among his brothers.
17 A firstborn[b] bull—majesty is his!
His horns are the horns of a wild ox;
with them he gores the peoples,
driving them to[c] the ends of the earth;
such are the myriads of Ephraim,
such the thousands of Manasseh.
18 And of Zebulun he said:
Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out;
and Issachar, in your tents.

16 And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.
