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.’
5 And now your atwo sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.
6 Your offspring whom you beget after them shall be yours; they will be called by the name of their brothers in their inheritance.
7 But as for me, when I came from Padan, aRachel died beside me in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath; and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).”
