48 : 1 Now it came about after these things that Joseph was told, "Behold, your father is sick." So he took his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim with him.
|
|
48 : 2 When it was told to Jacob, "Behold, your son Joseph has come to you," Israel collected his strength and sat up in the bed.
|
|
48 : 3 Then Jacob said to Joseph, "God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me,
|
|
48 : 4 and He said to me, `Behold, I will make you fruitful and numerous, and I will make you a company of peoples, and will give this land to your descendants after you for an everlasting possession.`
|
|
48 : 5 Now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine, as Reuben and Simeon are.
|
|
48 : 6 But your offspring that have been born after them shall be yours; they shall be called by the names of their brothers in their inheritance.
|
|
48 : 7 Now as for me, when I came from Paddan, Rachel died, to my sorrow, in the land of Canaan on the journey, when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath; and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
|
|
48 : 8 When Israel saw Joseph`s sons, he said, "Who are these?"
|
|
48 : 9 Joseph said to his father, "They are my sons, whom God has given me here " So he said, "Bring them to me, please, that I may bless them."
|
|
48 : 10 Now the eyes of Israel were so dim from age that he could not see Then Joseph brought them close to him, and he kissed them and embraced them.
|
|
48 : 11 Israel said to Joseph, "I never expected to see your face, and behold, God has let me see your children as well."
|
|
48 : 12 Then Joseph took them from his knees, and bowed with his face to the ground.
|
|
48 : 13 Joseph took them both, Ephraim with his right hand toward Israel`s left, and Manasseh with his left hand toward Israel`s right, and brought them close to him.
|
|
48 : 14 But Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it on the head of Ephraim, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh`s head, crossing his hands, although Manasseh was the firstborn.
|
|
48 : 15 He blessed Joseph, and said, "The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, The God who has been my shepherd all my life to this day,
|
|
48 : 16 The angel who has redeemed me from all evil, Bless the lads; And may my name live on in them, And the names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; And may they grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth."
|
|
48 : 17 When Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on Ephraim`s head, it displeased him; and he grasped his father`s hand to remove it from Ephraim`s head to Manasseh`s head.
|
|
48 : 18 Joseph said to his father, "Not so, my father, for this one is the firstborn. Place your right hand on his head."
|
|
48 : 19 But 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 his descendants shall become a multitude of nations."
|
|
48 : 20 He blessed them that day, saying, "By you Israel will pronounce blessing, saying, `May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh!`" Thus he put Ephraim before Manasseh.
|
|
48 : 21 Then Israel said to Joseph, "Behold, I am about to die, but God will be with you, and bring you back to the land of your fathers.
|
|
48 : 22 I give you one portion more than your brothers, which I took from the hand of the Amorite with my sword and my bow.
