Jacob Blesses Joseph’s Sons
1 Now it came to pass after these things that Joseph was told, “Indeed your father is sick”; and he took with him his two sons, aManasseh and Ephraim.
2 And Jacob was told, “Look, your son Joseph is coming to you”; and Israel1 strengthened himself and sat up on the bed.
3 Then Jacob said to Joseph: “God aAlmighty appeared to me at bLuz in the land of Canaan and blessed me,
4 and said to me, ‘Behold, I will amake you fruitful and multiply you, and I will make of you a multitude of people, and bgive this land to your descendants after you cas an everlasting possession.’
