¹⁶     With the best the land has to offer
        when it’s filled with good things,
    And most of all may it be blessed
        with the favor of the One who appeared in the burning bush.
    Let all these blessings rest on Joseph’s head,
        on the head of this prince among his brothers.
¹⁷     He’s majestic, like a firstborn bull;
        he has powerful horns, as does a wild ox.
    With them he will gore the nations, driving them away to the ends of the earth.
        This is the power of Ephraim’s ten thousands,
        of Manasseh’s thousands of troops.
