Genesis 48:1-7

1Now it came about after these things that 1Joseph was told, “Behold, your father is sick.” So he took his two sons 2Manasseh and Ephraim with him. 2When 3it was told to Jacob, “Behold, your son Joseph has come to you,” Israel 4collected his strength and sat 5up in the bed. 3Then Jacob said to Joseph, “67God Almighty appeared to me at 8Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me, 4and He said to me, ‘Behold, I will make you fruitful and numerous, and I will make you a multitude of peoples, and will give this land to your 9descendants after you as 10an everlasting possession.’ 5Now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, are mine; 11Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine, as 12Reuben and Simeon are. 6But your children that you have fathered after them shall be yours; they shall be called by the 13names of their brothers in their inheritance. 7Now as for me, when I came from 14Paddan, 15Rachel died, 16to my sorrow, in the land of Canaan on the journey, when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath. I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).”
