25 From (A)the God of your father who helps you,
And [a](B)by the [b]Almighty who blesses you
With (C)blessings of heaven above,
Blessings of the deep that lies beneath,
Blessings of the breasts and of the womb.
26 The blessings of your father
Have surpassed the blessings of my ancestors
Up to the [c]furthest boundary of (D)the everlasting hills;
May they be on the head of Joseph,
And on the top of the head of the one distinguished among his brothers.

27 “Benjamin is a [d]ravenous wolf;
In the morning he devours the prey,
And in the evening he divides the spoils.”
