14And of the fruits of the changes of the sun in season, And of the produce of the months,
15From the top of the ancient mountains, And from the top of the everlasting hills,
16And of the fullness of the land in season: And let the things pleasing to him that dwelt in the bush Come on the head of Joseph, And on the crown of him who was glorified above his brethren.
