(KJV.) GENESIS 48:16-22
Jacob and Joseph's sons.
(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.
(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 father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head.
(18) And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father; for this is the firstborn' put thy right hand upon the head.
(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 great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
(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.
(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.
(22) Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.
