please need help with Hebrew text on antique artifact - benbenny007 - 02-17-2019

Hello all,

I own a very old pot which has some Hebrew writing on it. I was hoping that that somebody could maybe tell me what it reads and what it was used for. I guess it is very old. Thought this is the best place to find more info about it and hope you guys do not mind.

Wow, that's not clear at all. I've got no idea. I'll send out some feelers.

It's a paraphrase of Gen. 49:22-23. It says:
יוסף בן פורת עלי עין בנות צעדה עלי שור וימררוהו ורובו וישטמוהו

Which isn't all the words from those verses, but it's most of them.
