Genesis 49:22-24
Lexham English Bible
22 Joseph is the bough[a] of a fruitful vine,
a fruitful bough[b] by a spring.
His branches climb over the wall.
23 The archers[c] fiercely attacked him.
They shot arrows at him and were hostile to him.
24 But his bow remained in a steady position;
his arms[d] were made agile
by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob.
From there is the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel.
