Genesis 49:22-24
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
22 ‘Joseph is a fruitful bough,
a fruitful bough by a spring;
his branches run over the wall.[a]
23 The archers fiercely attacked him;
they shot at him and pressed him hard.
24 Yet his bow remained taut,
and his arms[b] were made agile
by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob,
by the name of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,
