And aaccept the work of his hands;
Strike the loins of those who rise against him,
And of those who hate him, that they rise not again.”
“The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by Him,
Who shelters him all the day long;
And he shall dwell between His shoulders.”
a“Blessed of the Lord is his land,
With the precious things of heaven, with the bdew,
And the deep lying beneath,
With the precious things bof the everlasting hills,
And the favor of aHim who dwelt in the bush.
Let the blessing come b‘on the head of Joseph,
And on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.’
And his horns like the bhorns of the wild ox;
Together with them
cHe shall push the peoples
To the ends of the earth;
dThey are the ten thousands of Ephraim,
And they are the thousands of Manasseh.”
There bthey shall offer sacrifices of righteousness;
For they shall partake of the abundance of the seas
And of treasures hidden in the sand.”
“Blessed is he who aenlarges Gad;
He dwells as a lion,
And tears the arm and the crown of his head.

Deuteronomy 33:13
And of Joseph - Including both Ephraim and Manasseh. In Jacob's blessing that of Joseph's is the largest. And so it is here. His land - His portion shall be endowed with choice blessings from God. Of heaven - That is, the precious fruits of the earth brought forth by the influences of heaven, the warmth of the sun, and the rain which God will send from heaven. The deep - The springs of water bubbling out of the earth: perhaps it may likewise refer to the great deep, the abyss of waters, which is supposed to be contained in the earth.
