49:24 But his bow will remain steady,
and his hands 1 will be skillful;
because of the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob,
because of 2 the Shepherd, the Rock 3 of Israel,
49:25 because of the God of your father,
who will help you, 4
because of the sovereign God, 5
who will bless you 6
with blessings from the sky above,
blessings from the deep that lies below,
and blessings of the breasts and womb. 7
49:26 The blessings of your father are greater
than 8 the blessings of the eternal mountains 9
or the desirable things of the age-old hills.
They will be on the head of Joseph
and on the brow of the prince of his brothers. 10
