Joseph is a fruitful bough,
A fruitful bough by a spring;
Its branches run over a wall.
23 The archers bitterly attacked him,
And shot at him and harassed him;

Have surpassed the blessings of my ancestors
Up to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills;
May they be on the head of Joseph
Tribe of Joseph was divided into:
Ephraim
Manasseh
