May the being who rescued me from all evil bless these boys! May they be called by my name and by the names of my grandfather Abraham and my father Isaac. May they have many children on the earth.

Joseph is a fruitful tree, a fruitful tree by a spring, with branches climbing over a wall.

As the firstborn of his bulls, majesty is his. His horns are the horns of the wild bull. With them he will push the peoples, all at once, to the ends of the earth. They are the ten thousands of Ephraim and the thousands of Manasseh.

The lamp of the wicked is snuffed out. The flame of his fire shall not shine.

From the birth

Let them be like a snail that melts and passes away, like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun.

A man can have a hundred children and live many years. If he does not enjoy prosperity and have a decent burial, a stillborn child is better off then he.

Jehovah also said: For the many transgressions of the children of Ammon I will not withdraw the punishment. They have ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead, that they may enlarge their border.

From the womb

Give them, O Jehovah what will you give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

Cursed will be the offspring of your body and the produce of your ground, the increase of your herd and the young of your flock.

The days are coming when they will say blessed are the barren those without children and the breasts that never nursed.
