Thy father's God shall help thee, and the almighty shall bless
thee with blessings from heaven above, and with blessings of the
water that lieth under, and with blessings of the breasts and of
the womb. The blessings of thy father were strong: even as the
blessings of my elders, after the desire of the highest {hiest} in
the world, and these blessings shall fall on the head of Ioseph,
and on the top of the head of him that was separated from his
brethren. Ben Iamin is a ravishing wolf. In the morning he shall
devour his prey, and at night he shall divide his spoil. All these
are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is that which their
father spake unto them when he blessed them, every man with a
several blessing. And he charged them and said unto them. I shall
be put unto my people: see that ye bury me with my fathers, in the
cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hethite, in the double
cave that is in the field before Mamre in the land of Canaan.
Which field Abraham bought of Ephron the Hethite for a possession
to bury in. There they buried Abraham and Sara his wife, there
they buried Isaac and Rebecca his wife. And there I buried Lea:
which field and the cave that is therein, was bought of the
children of Heth.
