Abraham planted a tamarisk tree at Beer-sheba. There he called on the name of Jehovah, the Everlasting God.

The blessings of your father are greater than the blessings of the oldest mountains and the riches of the ancient hills. May these blessings rest on the head of Joseph, on the crown of the prince among his brothers.

Anoint them just as you anointed their father that they can serve me as priests. This anointing will make them priests for generations to come.

My promise is that he and his descendants will be priests for a very long time because he stood up for his God. He made peace with Jehovah for the Israelites.

The eternal God is a dwelling place. Underneath are the everlasting arms. He drove out the enemy from before you, and said: 'Destroy!'

Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.

Before the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and its inhabitants, you are God from everlasting to everlasting.
