17 Joseph has the majesty of a firstborn bull;
    ·he is as strong as [L his horns are the horns of] a wild ox [Ex. 27:2].
He will ·stab [gore] other nations with them,
    even those ·nations far away [L at the ends of the earth].
These are the ·ten thousands [myriads] of Ephraim,
    and these are the thousands of Manasseh [C tribes named after Joseph’s sons].”

18 Moses said this about the people of Zebulun:

“·Be happy [Rejoice] when you go out, Zebulun,
    and ·be happy [rejoice] in your tents, Issachar.
19 They will call the people to the mountain,
    and there they will offer the ·right [righteous] sacrifices.
They will ·do well from all that is in [L suck the abundance of] the sea,
    and from the treasures hidden in the sand on the shore.”
