25 by the God of your father, who will help you,
    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.
26 The blessings of your father
    are stronger than the blessings of the eternal mountains,
    the bounties[b] of the everlasting hills;
may they be on the head of Joseph,
    on the brow of him who was set apart from his brothers.

27 Benjamin is a ravenous wolf,
    in the morning devouring the prey,
    and at evening dividing the spoil.”
