@ And it came to pass
after
these
things
, that one
told
Joseph
, Behold, thy
father
is
sick
: and he
took
with him his
two
sons
,
Manasseh
and
Ephraim
.
strkjv@Genesis:48:2
@ And one
told
Jacob
, and
said
, Behold, thy
son
Joseph
cometh
unto thee: and
Israel
strengthened
himself, and
sat
upon the
bed
.
strkjv@Genesis:48:3
@ And
Jacob
said
unto
Joseph
,
God
Almighty
appeared
unto me at
Luz
in the
land
of
Canaan
K@, and
blessed
me,
strkjv@Genesis:48:4
@ And
said
unto me, Behold, I will make thee
fruitful
, and
multiply
thee, and I will
make
of thee a
multitude
of
people
; and will
give
this
land
to thy
seed
after
thee
for an
everlasting
possession
.
strkjv@Genesis:48:5
@ And now thy
two
sons
,
Ephraim
and
Manasseh
, which were
born
unto thee in the
land
of
Egypt
before
I
came
unto thee into
Egypt
, are mine; as
Reuben
and
Simeon
, they shall be mine.
strkjv@Genesis:48:6
@ And thy
issue
, which thou
begettest
after
them, shall be thine, and shall be
called
after
the
name
of their
brethren
in their
inheritance
.
strkjv@Genesis:48:7
@ And as for me, when I
came
from
Padan
,
Rachel
died
by me in the
land
of
Canaan
in the
way
,
when
yet there was but a
little
way
to
come
unto
Ephrath
: and I buried
her
there in the
way
of
Ephrath
; the same is
Bethlehem
Beyth.
strkjv@Genesis:48:8
@ And
Israel
beheld
Josephs
sons
, and
said
, Who are these?
strkjv@Genesis:48:9
@ And
Joseph
said
unto his
father
, They are my
sons
, whom
God
hath
given
me in this place. And he
said
, Bring
them
, I pray thee, unto me, and I will
bless
them.
strkjv@Genesis:48:10
@ Now the
eyes
of
Israel
were
dim
for
age
, so that he
could
not
see
. And he brought them
near
unto him; and he
kissed
them, and
embraced
them.
strkjv@Genesis:48:11
@ And
Israel
said
unto
Joseph
, I had not
thought
to
see
thy
face
: and, lo,
God
hath
shewed
me also thy
seed
.
strkjv@Genesis:48:12
@ And
Joseph
brought them
out
from
between
his
knees
, and he
bowed
himself with his
face
to the
earth
.
strkjv@Genesis:48:13
@ And
Joseph
took
them
both
,
Ephraim
in his right
hand
toward
Israels
left
hand
s@, and
Manasseh
in his left
hand
toward
Israels
right
hand
, and brought them
near
unto him.
strkjv@Genesis:48:14
@ And
Israel
stretched
out
his right
hand
, and
laid
it upon
Ephraims
head
, who was the
younger
, and his left
hand
upon
Manassehs
head
,
guiding
his
hands
wittingly
; for
Manasseh
was the
firstborn
.
strkjv@Genesis:48:15
@ And he
blessed
Joseph
, and
said
,
God
,
before
whom my
fathers
Abraham
and
Isaac
did
walk
, the
God
which
fed
me all my life
long
unto this
day
,
strkjv@Genesis:48:16
@ The
Angel
which
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
; and let them
grow
into a
multitude
in the
midst
of the
earth

strkjv@Genesis:48:17
@ And when
Joseph
saw
that his
father
laid
his
right
hand
upon the
head
of
Ephraim
, it
displeased
him: and he held
up
his
fathers
hand
, to
remove
it from
Ephraims
head
unto
Manassehs
head
.
strkjv@Genesis:48:18
@ And
Joseph
said
unto his
father
, Not so, my
father
: for this is the
firstborn
;
put
thy right
hand
upon his
head
.
strkjv@Genesis:48:19
@ And his
father
refused
, and
said
, I
know
it, my
son
, I
know
it: he also shall become a
people
, and he also shall be
great
: but
truly
his
younger
brother
shall be
greater
than he, and his
seed
shall become a
multitude
of
nations
.
strkjv@Genesis:48:20
@ And he
blessed
them that
day
,
saying
, In thee shall
Israel
bless
,
saying
,
God
make
thee as
Ephraim
and as
Manasseh
: and he
set
Ephraim
before
Manasseh
.
strkjv@Genesis:48:21
@ And
Israel
said
unto
Joseph
, Behold, I
die
: but
God
shall be with you, and bring you
again
unto the
land
of your
fathers

@ Moreover I have
given
to thee
one
portion
above thy

took
out of the

of the
Amorite
with my
sword
