25 by the God of your father, who will help you,
by the Almighty, who will bless you
with blessings from heaven above,
blessings from the deep that lies below,
blessings from the breasts and from the womb.

    my parents,[a]
greater than the treasures of the ancient hills.

At evening he will divide the spoils.
