Genesis 48:9
Compare all
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).”  
8 Then Israel saw Joseph’s sons, and said, “Who are these?”
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.
14 Then Israel stretched out his right hand and alaid it on Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh’s head, bguiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh was the cfirstborn.  
15 And ahe blessed Joseph, and said:
“God, bbefore whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked,
The God who has fed me all my life long to this day, 
16 The Angel awho has redeemed me from all evil,
Bless the lads;
Let bmy name be named upon them,
And the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac;
And let them cgrow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.”  
17 Now when Joseph saw that his father alaid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him; so he took hold of his father’s hand to remove it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head.  
18 And Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father, for this one is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head.”
