9Joseph said to his father, l“They are my sons, whom God has given me here.” And he said, “Bring them to me, please, that mI may bless them.” 10Now nthe eyes of Israel were dim with age, so that he could not see. So Joseph brought them near him, oand he kissed them and embraced them. 11And Israel said to Joseph, p“I never expected to see your face; and behold, God has let me see your offspring also.” 12Then Joseph removed them from his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth. 13And 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 him. 14 qAnd Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it on the head of Ephraim, who was the younger, and his left hand on the head of Manasseh, rcrossing his hands (for Manasseh was the firstborn). 15And he blessed Joseph and said,“The God sbefore whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked,
the God who has been my shepherd all my life long to this day,
16 tthe angel who has uredeemed me from all evil, bless the boys;
and in them let vmy name be carried on, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac;
and let them wgrow into a multitude ▼
▼Or let them be like fish for multitude
in the midst of the earth.”Genesis 49:28
