“Joseph is like a wild donkey by a spring, A wild colt on a hillside. His enemies attack him fiercely And pursue him with their bows and arrows.

But his bow remains steady, And his arms are made strong By the power of the Mighty God of Jacob, By the Shepherd, the Protector of Israel. It is your father's God who helps you, The Almighty God who blesses you With blessings of rain from above And of deep waters from beneath the ground, Blessings of many cattle and children

“Judah, your brothers will praise you. You hold your enemies by the neck. Your brothers will bow down before you. Judah is like a lion, Killing his victim and returning to his den, Stretching out and lying down. No one dares disturb him.

“Reuben, my first-born, you are my strength And the first child of my manhood, The proudest and strongest of all my sons. You are like a raging flood, But you will not be the most important, For you slept with my concubine And dishonored your father's bed.
