    by the Almighty[a] who will bless you
    with blessings of heaven above,
blessings of the deep that lies beneath,
    blessings of the breasts and of the womb.(A)

    are stronger than the blessings of the eternal mountains,
    the bounties[b] of the everlasting hills;

    on the brow of him who was set apart from his brothers.(B)

    in the morning devouring the prey
    and at evening dividing the spoil.”
