15. And by chief things--of the ancient mountains, And by precious things--of the age-during heights,
16. And by precious things--of earth and its fulness, And the good pleasure Of Him who is dwelling in the bush, --Let it come for the head of Joseph, And for the crown of him Who is separate from his brethren.
17. His honour [is] a firstling of his ox, And his horns [are] horns of a reem; By them peoples he doth push together To the ends of earth; And they [are] the myriads of Ephraim, And they [are] the thousands of Manasseh.
18. And of Zebulun he said: --Rejoice, O Zebulun, in thy going out, And, O Issachar, in thy tents;
19. Peoples [to] the mountain they call, There they sacrifice righteous sacrifices; For the abundance of the seas they suck, And hidden things hidden in the sand.
20. And of Gad he said: --Blessed of the Enlarger [is] Gad, As a lioness he doth tabernacle, And hath torn the arm--also the crown!
21. And he provideth the first part for himself, For there the portion of the lawgiver is covered, And he cometh [with] the heads of the people; The righteousness of Jehovah he hath done, And His judgments with Israel.
