Genesis 48:9-14
9And JosephH3130 saidH559 to his fatherH1, “1They are my sonsH1121, whomH834 GodH430 has givenH5414 me hereH2088.” So he saidH559, “BringH3947 them to me, pleaseH4994, so that 2I may blessH1288 them.”
10Now 3the eyesH5869 of IsraelH3478 wereH3513 so 4dimH3513 from ageH2207 that he couldH3201 not seeH7200. And 5Joseph broughtH5066 them closeH5066 to him, and he 6kissedH5401 them and embracedH2263 them.
11And IsraelH3478 saidH559 to JosephH3130, “I neverH3808 7expectedH6419 to seeH7200 your faceH6440, and beholdH2009, GodH430 has let me seeH7200 your 8childrenH2233 asH1571 wellH1571!”
12Then JosephH3130 9tookH3318 them from his kneesH1290, and 10bowedH2331 with his faceH639 to the groundH776.
13And JosephH3130 tookH3947 them bothH8147, EphraimH669 with his rightH3225 handH3225 towardH4480 Israel’sH3478 leftH8040, and ManassehH4519 with his leftH8040 handH8040 towardH4480 Israel’sH3478 rightH3225, and broughtH5066 them closeH5066 to him.
14But IsraelH3478 reachedH7971 outH7971 his rightH3225 handH3225 and placedH7896 it on the headH7218 of EphraimH669, whoH1931 was the youngerH6810, and his leftH8040 handH8040 on Manasseh’sH4519 headH7218, crossingH7919 his handsH3027, althoughH3588 11ManassehH4519 was the firstbornH1060.
