Genesis 49:22-24

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²² Joseph is a fruitful bough,^[a]
    a fruitful bough by a spring;
    his branches run over the wall.^[b](A)
23 The archers fiercely attacked him;
    they shot at him and pressed him hard.^(B)
24 Yet his bow remained taut,
    and his arms^[c] were made agile
by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob,
    by the name of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,^(C)
