Genesis 48:15-22

15And he blessed Joseph, and said, “1The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, 2The God who has been my shepherd 3all my life to this day,164The angel who has redeemed me from all evil, 5Bless the boys; And may my name 6live on in them, And the 7names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; And 8may they grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.”

17When Joseph saw that his father 9placed his right hand on Ephraim’s head, it displeased him; and he grasped his father’s hand to move it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head. 18And Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father, for this one is the firstborn. Place your right hand on his head.” 19But his father refused and said, “I know, my son, I know; he also will become a people and he also will be great. However, his younger brother shall be greater than he, and 10his 11descendants shall become 12a multitude of nations.” 20So 13he blessed them that day, saying, “By you Israel will pronounce blessing, saying, ‘May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh!’” And so he put Ephraim before Manasseh. 21Then Israel said to Joseph, “Behold, I am about to die, but 14God will be with you, and 15bring you back to the land of your fathers. 22And I give you one 16portion more than your brothers, 17which I took from the hand of the Amorite with my sword and my bow.”
