Genesis 49:26-28

Revised Standard Version

²⁶The blessings of your father
    are mighty beyond the blessings of the eternal mountains,^[a]
    the bounties of the everlasting hills;
may they be on the head of Joseph,
    and on the brow of him who was separate from his brothers.

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

Jacob’s Death and Burial

²⁸All these are the twelve tribes of Israel; and this is what their father said to them as he blessed them, blessing each with the blessing suitable to him.
