Genesis 48:5-22

And now H6258 your two H8147 sons, H1121 Ephraim H669 and Manasseh, H4519 which were born H3205 to you in the land H776 of Egypt H4714 before H5704 I came H935 to you into Egypt, H4714 are mine; as Reuben H7205 and Simeon, H8095 they shall be mine.

And your issue, H4138 which H834 you beget H3205 after H310 them, shall be yours, and shall be called H7121 after H5921 the name H8034 of their brothers H251 in their inheritance. H5159

And as for me, when I came H935 from Padan, H6307 Rachel H7354 died H4191 by me in the land H776 of Canaan H3667 in the way, H1870 when H5750 yet H5750 there was but a little H3530 way H776 to come H935 to Ephrath: H672 and I buried H6912 her there H8033 in the way H1870 of Ephrath; H672 the same H1931 is Bethlehem. H1035

And Israel H3478 beheld H7200 Joseph's H3130 sons, H1121 and said, H559 Who H4310 are these? H428

And Joseph H3130 said H559 to his father, H1 They are my sons, H1121 whom H834 God H430 has given H5414 me in this H2088 place. And he said, H559 Bring H3947 them, I pray H4994 you, to me, and I will bless H1288 them.

Now the eyes H5869 of Israel H3478 were dim H3513 for age, H2207 so that he could H3201 not see. H7200 And he brought H5066 them near H5066 to him; and he kissed H5401 them, and embraced H2263 them.

And Israel H3478 said H559 to Joseph, H3130 I had not thought H6419 to see H7200 your face: H6440 and, see, H2009 God H430 has showed H7200 me also H1571 your seed. H2233

And Joseph H3130 brought H3318 them out from between H5973 his knees, H1290 and he bowed H7812 himself with his face H639 to the earth. H776

And Joseph H3130 took H3947 them both, H8147 Ephraim H669 in his right H3225 hand H3225 toward Israel's H3478 left H8040 hand, H8040 and Manasseh H4519 in his left H8040 hand H8040 toward Israel's H3478 right H3225 hand, H3225 and brought H5066 them near H5066 to him.

And Israel H3478 stretched H7971 out his right H3225 hand, H3225 and laid H7896 it on Ephraim's H669 head, H7218 who H1931 was the younger, H6810 and his left H8040 hand H8040 on Manasseh's H4519 head, H7218 guiding his hands H3027 wittingly; H7919 for Manasseh H4519 was the firstborn. H1060

And he blessed H1288 Joseph, H3130 and said, H559 God, H430 before H6440 whom H834 my fathers H1 Abraham H85 and Isaac H3327 did walk, H1980 the God H430 which fed H7462 me all my life long H5750 to this H2088 day, H3117

The Angel H4397 which redeemed H1350 me from all H3605 evil, H7451 bless H1288 the lads; H5288 and let my name H8034 be named H7121 on them, and the name H8034 of my fathers H1 Abraham H85 and Isaac; H3327 and let them grow H1711 into a multitude H7230 in the middle H7130 of the earth. H776

And when Joseph H3130 saw H7200 that his father H1 laid H7896 his right H3225 hand H3027 on the head H7218 of Ephraim, H669 it displeased H7489 H5869 him: and he held H8551 up his father's H1 hand, H3027 to remove H5493 it from Ephraim's H669 head H7218 to Manasseh's H4519 head. H7218

And Joseph H3130 said H559 to his father, H1 Not so, H3651 my father: H1 for this H2088 is the firstborn; H1060 put H7760 your right H3225 hand H3225 on his head. H7218

And his father H1 refused, H3985 and said, H559 I know H3045 it, my son, H1121 I know H3045 it: he also H1571 shall become H1961 a people, H5971 and he also H1571 shall be great: H1431 but truly H199 his younger H6996 brother H251 shall be greater H1431 than he, and his seed H2233 shall become H1961 a multitude H4393 of nations. H1471

And he blessed H1288 them that day, H3117 saying, H559 In you shall Israel H3478 bless, H1288 saying, H559 God H430 make H6213 you as Ephraim H669 and as Manasseh: H4519 and he set H7760 Ephraim H669 before H6440 Manasseh. H4519

And Israel H3478 said H559 to Joseph, H3130 Behold, H2009 I die: H4191 but God H430 shall be with you, and bring H7725 you again H7725 to the land H776 of your fathers. H1

Moreover I have given H5414 to you one H259 portion H7926 above H5921 your brothers, H251 which H834 I took H3947 out of the hand H3027 of the Amorite H567 with my sword H2719 and with my bow. H7198
