# General Information:

Jacob continues to bless Joseph and his descendants.

# the ancient mountains

The meaning of the original language is not certain. Some Bible translations have "my ancestors" instead of "ancient mountains."

# May they be on the head of Joseph

Here "they" refers to the blessings of his father.

# upon the crown of the head of the prince of his brothers

Jacob desires for these blessings to be passed on to even the most important of his descendants. Alternate translation: "on the head of the most important of Joseph's descendants" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# prince of his brothers

"most important of his brothers"
