15         with the best fruit from ancient mountains,
        with the gifts of eternal hills;
16         with the gifts of the earth and all that fills it,
    and the favor of the one who lives on Sinai.[a]
I pray that all these rest on Joseph’s head,
    on the crown of that prince among brothers.
17 A firstborn bull[b]—that’s how majestic he is!
    A wild ox’s horns—those are his horns!
        With them he gores all peoples
        completely, to the far ends of the earth!
His horns[c] are Ephraim’s tens of thousands.
    His horns are Manasseh’s thousands.”
