Let this come on the head of Joseph,

on the crown of the head of him who was separated from his brothers.

They are the ten thousands of Ephraim.

They are the thousands of Manasseh.”

There they will offer sacrifices of righteousness,

for they will draw out the abundance of the seas,

the hidden treasures of the sand.”
