Genesis 49:22

Verse 22 of 33. The 49th of 50 chapters in Genesis, in The Law.

18I have waited for your salvation, LORD.

19“A troop will press on Gad, but he will press on their heel.

20“Asher’s food will be rich. He will produce royal dainties.

21“Naphtali is a doe set free, who bears beautiful fawns.

22“Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine by a spring. His branches run over the wall.

23The archers have severely grieved him, shot at him, and persecuted him:

24But his bow remained strong. The arms of his hands were made strong, by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, (from there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel),

25even by the God of your father, who will help you, by the Almighty, who will bless you, with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies below, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb.

26The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of my ancestors, above the boundaries of the ancient hills. They will be on the head of Joseph, on the crown of the head of him who is separated from his brothers.
