Jacob Quote by Anonymous

“Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a spring; his branches run over the wall. [5] 23 The archers bitterly attacked him, shot at him, and harassed him severely, 24 yet his bow remained unmoved; his arms [6] were made agile by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob” quote by Anonymous
