Compare all
9 And Joseph said to his father, “They are my sons, whom God has given me in this place.” And he said, “Please bring them to me, and aI will bless them.”  
10 Now athe eyes of Israel were dim with age, so that he could not see. Then Joseph brought them near him, and he bkissed them and embraced them.  
11 And Israel said to Joseph, a“I had not thought to see your face; but in fact, God has also shown me your offspring!”  
12 So Joseph brought them from beside his knees, and he bowed down with his face to the earth.
13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim with his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh with his left hand toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them near him.

Genesis 48:11

I had not thought to see thy face, (having many years given him up for lost) and lo God hath shewed me also thy seed? - See here, How these two good men own God in their comforts. Joseph saith, They are my sons whom God has given me - And to magnify the favour he adds, in this place of my banishment, slavery and imprisonment. Jacob saith here, God hath shewed me thy seed - Our comforts are then doubly sweet to us, when we see them coming from God's hand.
