Mine, is Gilead - and mine, Manasseh, But, Ephraim, is the defence, of my head, Judah, is my commander's staff;

The sons of Ephraim - armed bowmen, Turned in the day of battle;

Howbeit he rejected the tent of Joseph, And, the tribe of Ephraim, did not choose:

Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy strength, And come! to our salvation.

Mine, is Gilead - mine, Manasseh, but, Ephraim, is the defence of my head, Judah, is my commander's staff;
