| Genesis 48:1 | It happened after these things, that one said to Joseph, "Behold, your father is sick." He took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. | |
| Genesis 48:2 | One told Jacob, and said, "Behold, your son Joseph comes to you," and Israel strengthened himself, and sat on the bed. | |
| Genesis 48:3 | Jacob said to Joseph, "God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me, | |
| Genesis 48:4 | and said to me, 'Behold, I will make you fruitful, and multiply you, and I will make of you a company of peoples, and will give this land to your seed after you for an everlasting possession.' | |
| Genesis 48:5 | Now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you into Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh, even as Reuben and Simeon, will be mine. | |
| Genesis 48:6 | Your issue, who you become the father of after them, will be yours. They will be called after the name of their brothers in their inheritance. | |
| Genesis 48:7 | As for me, when I came from Paddan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when there was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and I buried her there in the way to Ephrath (the same is Beth-lehem)." | |
| Genesis 48:8 | Israel saw Joseph's sons, and said, "Who are these?" | |
| Genesis 48:9 | Joseph said to his father, "They are my sons, whom God has given me here." He said, "Please bring them to me, and I will bless them." | |
| Genesis 48:10 | Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he couldn't see. He brought them near to him; and he kissed them, and embraced them. | |
| Genesis 48:11 | Israel said to Joseph, "I didn't think I would see your face, and, behold, God has let me see your seed also." | |
| Genesis 48:12 | Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth. | |
| Genesis 48:13 | 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. | |
| Genesis 48:14 | Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it on Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh's head, guiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn. | |
| Genesis 48:15 | He blessed Joseph, and said, "The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God who has fed me all my life long to this day, | |
| Genesis 48:16 | the angel who has redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads, and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac. Let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth." | |
| Genesis 48:17 | When Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him. He held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head. | |
| Genesis 48:18 | Joseph said to his father, "Not so, my father; for this is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head." | |
| Genesis 48:19 | 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 will be greater than he, and his seed will become a multitude of nations." | |
| Genesis 48:20 | He blessed them that day, saying, "In you will Israel bless, saying, 'God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh'" He set Ephraim before Manasseh. | |
| Genesis 48:21 | Israel said to Joseph, "Behold, I am dying, but God will be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers. | |
| Genesis 48:22 | Moreover I have given to you one portion above your brothers, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow." | |
