23 They attacked him fiercely and fired arrows;
the archers attacked him furiously.
24 But his bow stayed strong, and his forearms were nimble,f by the hands
of the strong one of Jacob,
by the name of the shepherd, the rock of Israel,
25 by God, your father, who supports you, by the Almighty who blesses you with blessings from the skies above and blessings
from the deep sea below, blessings from breasts and womb. 26 The blessings of your father exceed the blessings
of the eternal mountains,h
the wealth of the everlasting hills. May they all rest on Joseph's head, on the forehead of the one set apart from his brothers.
27 Benjamin is a wolf who hunts:
in the morning he devours the prey; in the evening he divides the plunder."

Genesis 50:10
Jacob's death and burial
29 Jacob ordered them, "I am soon to join my people. Bury me with my ancestors in the cave that's in the field of Ephron the Hittite; 30in the cave that's in the field of Machpelah near Mamre in the land of Canaan that Abraham bought from Ephron the Hittite as a burial property. 31That is where Abraham and his wife Sarah are buried, and where Isaac and his wife Rebekah are buried, and where I buried Leah. 32It is the field and the cave in it that belonged to the Hittites." 33 After he finished giving orders to his sons, he put his feet up on the bed, took his last breath, and joined his people.
50Joseph fell across his father's body,
wept over him, and kissed him. 2Joseph then ordered the physicians in his service to embalm his father, and the physicians embalmed Israel. 3They mourned for him forty days because that is the period required for embalming. Then the Egyptians mourned him for seventy days. "After the period of mourning had passed, Joseph spoke to Pharaoh's household: "If you approve my request, give Pharaoh this message: "My father made me promise, telling me, 'I'm about to die. You must bury me in the tomb I dug for myself in the land of Canaan.' Now, let me leave and let me bury my father, and then I will return."
"Pharaoh replied, "Go, bury your father as you promised."
7So Joseph left to bury his father. All of Pharaoh's servants went with him, together with the elder statesmen in his household and all of the elder statesmen in the land of Egypt, Joseph's entire household, his brothers, and his father's household. Only the children, flocks, and cattle remained in the land of Goshen. "Even chariots and horsemen went with him; it was a huge collection of people. 10When they arrived at the threshing floor of Atad on the other side of the Jordan River, they observed a solemn, deeply sorrowful period of mourning. He grieved seven days for his father.
