Deuteronomy 33:16-18
Living Bible
16 May he be blessed with the best gifts
Of the earth and its fullness,
And with the favor of God who appeared
In the burning bush.
Let all these blessings come upon Joseph,
The prince among his brothers.
17 He is a young bull in strength and splendor,
With the strong horns of a wild ox
To push against the nations everywhere;
This is my blessing on the multitudes of Ephraim
And the thousands of Manasseh.”
18 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Moses said:
“Rejoice, O Zebulun, you outdoorsmen,
And Issachar, you lovers of your tents;

and the favor of him who dwelt in the burning bush.(A)
Let all these rest on the head of Joseph,
on the brow of the prince among[a] his brothers.(B)

his horns(C) are the horns of a wild ox.(D)
With them he will gore(E) the nations,
