17 Joseph has the strength of a bull,
The horns of a wild ox.
His horns are Manasseh's thousands
And Ephraim's ten thousands.
With them he gores the nations
And pushes them to the ends of the earth.”

18 About the tribes of Zebulun and Issachar he said:

“May Zebulun be prosperous in their trade on the sea,
And may Issachar's wealth increase at home.
19 They invite foreigners to their mountain
And offer the right sacrifices there.
They get their wealth from the sea
And from the sand along the shore.”

17 In majesty he is like a firstborn bull;
    his horns(A) are the horns of a wild ox.(B)
With them he will gore(C) the nations,
    even those at the ends of the earth.
Such are the ten thousands of Ephraim;(D)
    such are the thousands of Manasseh.(E)

18 About Zebulun(F) he said:

“Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out,
    and you, Issachar,(G) in your tents.
19 They will summon peoples to the mountain(H)
    and there offer the sacrifices of the righteous;(I)
they will feast on the abundance of the seas,(J)
    on the treasures hidden in the sand.”
