25 because of the El of your father who helps you,
    because of the Shadday who gives you
        blessings from the heavens above,
        blessings from the deep springs below the ground,
        blessings from breasts and womb.
26 The blessings of your father are greater than
    the blessings of the oldest mountains
        and the riches of the ancient hills.
May these blessings rest on the head of Joseph,
    on the crown of the prince among his brothers.

27 Benjamin is a ravenous wolf.
    In the morning he devours his prey.
    In the evening he divides the plunder.”
