Genesis 49:23 in Context — Genesis 49

21 Nephthali est une biche en liberté; Il profère de belles paroles.

22 Joseph est le rejeton d’un arbre fertile, Le rejeton d’un arbre fertile près d’une source; Les branches s’élèvent au-dessus de la muraille.

23 Ils l’ont provoqué, ils ont lancé des traits; Les archers l’ont poursuivi de leur haine.

24 Mais son arc est demeuré ferme, Et ses mains ont été fortifiées Par les mains du Puissant de Jacob: Il est ainsi devenu le berger, le rocher d’Israël.

25 C’est l’œuvre du Dieu de ton père, qui t’aidera; C’est l’œuvre du Tout-Puissant, qui te bénira Des bénédictions des cieux en haut, Des bénédictions des eaux en bas, Des bénédictions des mamelles et du sein maternel.
