22 ¶ ^aJoseph is a fruitful ^bbough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose ^cbranches ^drun over the wall:

  12 Behold, I say unto you, that the house of Israel was compared unto an olive-tree, by the Spirit of the Lord which was in our father; and behold are we not broken off from the house of Israel, and are we not a ^abranch of the house of Israel?

  5 Wherefore, Joseph truly ^asaw our day. And he obtained a ^bpromise of the Lord, that out of the fruit of his loins the Lord God would raise up a ^crighteous ^dbranch unto the house of Israel; not the Messiah, but a branch which was to be broken off, nevertheless, to be remembered in the covenants of the Lord that the Messiah should be made ^emanifest unto them in the latter days, in the spirit of power, unto the bringing of them out of ^fdarkness unto light—yea, out of hidden darkness and out of captivity unto freedom.

  3 For behold, thus saith the Lord, I will liken thee, O house of ^aIsrael, like unto a tame ^bolive-tree, which a man took and nourished in his ^cvineyard; and it grew, and waxed old, and began to ^ddecay.

  1 And now, behold, my brethren, as I said unto you that I would prophesy, behold, this is my prophecy—that the things which this prophet ^aZenos spake, concerning the house of Israel, in the which he likened them unto a tame ^bolive-tree, must surely come to pass.
