Genesis 49:23

21 Naphtali is a doe set free that bears beautiful fawns.

22 Joseph is a fruitful vine— a fruitful vine by a spring, whose branches scale the wall.

The archers attacked him with bitterness; they aimed at him in hostility.

24 Yet he steadied his bow, and his strong arms were tempered by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, in the name of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,

25 by the God of your father who helps you, and by the Almighty who blesses you, with blessings of the heavens above, with blessings of the depths below, with blessings of the breasts and womb.
