1Now it cameH1961 aboutH1961 afterH310 theseH428 thingsH1697 that 1JosephH3130 was toldH559, “BeholdH2009, your fatherH1 isH2470 sickH2470.” So he tookH3947 his twoH8147 sonsH1121 2ManassehH4519 and EphraimH669 with him. 2When 3it was toldH5046 to JacobH3290, “BeholdH2009, your sonH1121 JosephH3130 has comeH935 to you,” IsraelH3478 4collectedH2388 his strengthH2388 and satH3427 5up in the bedH4296. 3Then JacobH3290 saidH559 to JosephH3130, “67GodH410 AlmightyH7706 appearedH7200 to me at 8LuzH3870 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667 and blessedH1288 me, 4and He saidH559 to me, ‘BeholdH2009, I will makeH6509 you fruitfulH6509 and numerousH7235, and I will makeH5414 you a multitudeH6951 of peoplesH5971, and will giveH5414 thisH2088 landH776 to your 9descendantsH2233 afterH310 you as 10an everlastingH5769 possessionH272.’ 5NowH6258 your twoH8147 sonsH1121, who were bornH3205 to you in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 beforeH5704 I cameH935 to you in EgyptH4714, are mine; 11EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519 shall be mine, as 12ReubenH7205 and SimeonH8095 are. 6But your childrenH4138 that you have fatheredH3205 afterH310 them shall be yours; they shall be calledH7121 by the 13namesH8034 of their brothersH251 in their inheritanceH5159. 7Now as for me, when I cameH935 from 14PaddanH6307, 15RachelH7354 diedH4191, 16to my sorrowH5921, in the landH776 of CanaanH3667 on the journeyH1870, when there was stillH5750 someH3530 distanceH3530H776 to goH935 to EphrathH672. I buriedH6912 her thereH8033 on the wayH1870 to EphrathH672 (that is, BethlehemH1035).”
