49:22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, 1
a fruitful bough near a spring
whose branches 2 climb over the wall.
49:23 The archers will attack him, 3
they will shoot at him and oppose him.
49:24 But his bow will remain steady,
and his hands 4 will be skillful;
because of the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob,
because of 5 the Shepherd, the Rock 6 of Israel,
49:25 because of the God of your father,
who will help you, 7
because of the sovereign God, 8
who will bless you 9
with blessings from the sky above,
blessings from the deep that lies below,
and blessings of the breasts and womb. 10
