And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.

Verse 16 is found in chapter 33 of Deuteronomy. The blessing continues over Benjamin, Joseph, Zebulun, Issachar, Gad, and Dan. Each tribe receives wording adapted to its situation and territory. Joseph receives especially abundant imagery related to the fertility of the land, while other tribes are associated with security, expansion, or military strength. Together, the blessings preserve tribal identity within Israel’s unity.

und edle Früchte von der Erde und dem, was darinnen ist. Die Gnade des, der in dem Busch wohnte, komme auf das Haupt Josephs und auf den Scheitel des Geweihten unter seinen Brüdern.
Y por los regalos de la tierra y su plenitud; Y la gracia del que habitó en la zarza Venga sobre la cabeza de José, Y sobre la mollera del apartado de sus hermanos.
Les meilleurs produits de la terre et de ce qu'elle renferme. Que la grâce de celui qui apparut dans le buisson Vienne sur la tête de Joseph, Sur le sommet de la tête du prince de ses frères!
E delle delizie della terra, e di tutto ciò ch’ella contiene, E del favor di colui che stava nel pruno; Venga quello sopra il capo di Giuseppe, E sopra la sommità del capo Di colui ch’è stato messo da parte d’infra i suoi fratelli.
E com o mais excelente da terra, e da sua plenitude, e com a benevolência daquele que habitava na sarça, venha sobre a cabeça de José, e sobre o alto da cabeça daquele que foi separado de seus irmãos.
得地的寶物和其中所充滿的, 得住在荊棘中者的喜悅。 願這些福都臨到 約瑟 的頭上, 臨到那與兄弟有分別之人的頭頂上。
