His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.

Verse 17 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.

Seine Herrlichkeit ist wie eines erstgeborenen Stieres, und seine Hörner sind wie Einhornshörner; mit denselben wird er die Völker stoßen zuhauf bis an des Landes Enden. Das sind die Zehntausende Ephraims und die Tausende Manasses.
Él es aventajado como el primogénito de su toro, Y sus cuernos, cuernos de unicornio: Con ellos acorneará los pueblos juntos hasta los fines de la tierra: Y estos son los diez millares de Ephraim, Y estos los millares de Manasés.
Su majestad es la de un toro primogénito, y sus cuernos son cuernos de toro salvaje. Con ellos corneará a los pueblos, todos juntos, hasta los confines de la tierra. Estos son las decenas de miles de Efraín, y estos son los miles de Manasés».
De son taureau premier-né il a la majesté; Ses cornes sont les cornes du buffle; Avec elles il frappera tous les peuples, Jusqu'aux extrémités de la terre: Elles sont les myriades d'Ephraïm, Elles sont les milliers de Manassé.
Egli ha una bravura, come il primogenito di un toro; E le sue corna son come corna di liocorno; Con quello egli cozzerà i popoli tutti quanti, Fino alle stremità della terra. E queste son le decine delle migliaia d’Efraim, E queste son le migliaia di Manasse
Ele tem a glória do primogênito do seu touro, e os seus chifres são chifres de boi selvagem; com eles rechaçará todos os povos até às extremidades da terra; estes pois são os dez milhares de Efraim, e estes são os milhares de Manassés.
他是牛群中頭生的, 大有威嚴; 他的雙角是野牛的角, 用以牴觸萬民,直到地極。 這對角是 以法蓮 的萬萬, 這對角是 瑪拿西 的千千。』
