New International Version
22 “Joseph(A) is a fruitful vine,(B)
a fruitful vine near a spring,
whose branches(C) climb over a wall.[a]
23 With bitterness archers attacked him;(D)
they shot at him with hostility.(E)
24 But his bow remained steady,(F)
his strong arms(G) stayed[b] limber,
because of the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob,(H)
because of the Shepherd,(I) the Rock of Israel,(J)
25 because of your father’s God,(K) who helps(L) you,
because of the Almighty,[c](M) who blesses you
with blessings of the skies above,
blessings of the deep springs below,(N)
blessings of the breast(O) and womb.(P)
26 Your father’s blessings are greater
than the blessings of the ancient mountains,
than[d] the bounty of the age-old hills.(Q)
Let all these rest on the head of Joseph,(R)
on the brow of the prince among[e] his brothers.(S)

New International Version
13 About Joseph(A) he said:
“May the Lord bless his land
with the precious dew from heaven above
and with the deep waters that lie below;(B)
14 with the best the sun brings forth
and the finest the moon can yield;
15 with the choicest gifts of the ancient mountains(C)
and the fruitfulness of the everlasting hills;
16 with the best gifts of the earth and its fullness
and the favor of him who dwelt in the burning bush.(D)
Let all these rest on the head of Joseph,
on the brow of the prince among[a] his brothers.(E)
17 In majesty he is like a firstborn bull;
his horns(F) are the horns of a wild ox.(G)
With them he will gore(H) the nations,
even those at the ends of the earth.
Such are the ten thousands of Ephraim;(I)
such are the thousands of Manasseh.(J)”
