Genesis 49:26

The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.

KJV

Benedictiones patris tui confortatæ sunt benedictionibus patrum ejus, donec veniret desiderium collium æternorum : fiant in capite Joseph, et in vertice Nazaræi inter fratres suos.

Vulgate

εὐλογίας πατρός σου καὶ μητρός σου· ὑπερίσχυσεν ἐπ’ εὐλογίαις ὀρέων μονίμων, καὶ ἐπ’ εὐλογίαις θεινῶν ἀενάων· ἔσονται ἐπὶ κεφαλὴν Ἰωσήφ, καὶ ἐπὶ κορυφῆς ὧν ἡγήσατο ἀδελφῶν.

LXX

The blessings of thy father Have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors Unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: They shall be on the head of Joseph, And on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
