Genesis 48:8-16

8And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?

9And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom 1God has given me here. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, to me, that I may bless them.

10But the eyes of Israel were heavy from age: he could not see. And he brought them nearer to him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.

11And Israel said to Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face; and behold, 2God has let me see also thy seed.

12And Joseph brought them out from his knees, and bowed down with his face to the earth.

13And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought [them] near to him.

14But Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid [it] on Ephraim's head — now he was the younger — and his left hand on Manasseh's head; guiding his hands intelligently, for Manasseh was the firstborn.

15And he blessed Joseph, and said, The 3God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the 4God that shepherded me all my life long to this day,

16the Angel that redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named upon them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the land!
