Genesis 48:1-5

Jacob Blesses Ephraim and Manasseh

1 After this, Joseph was told, “Behold, your father is ill.” So he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. 2 And it was told to Jacob, “Your son Joseph has come to you.” Then Israel summoned his strength and sat up in bed. 3 And Jacob said to Joseph, ^c“God Almighty ^{▼▼Hebrew El Shaddai} appeared to me at ^eLuz in the land of Canaan and blessed me, 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 offspring after you ^ffor an everlasting possession.’ 5 And now your ^gtwo sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, ^hare mine; Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine, as Reuben and Simeon are.
