Genesis 48:15-20

And he blessed
<01288> (8762)
Joseph
<03130>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
God
<0430>_,
before
<06440>
whom my fathers
<01>
Abraham
<085>
and Isaac
<03327>
did walk
<01980> (8694)_,
the God
<0430>
which fed
<07462> (8802)
me all my life long
<05750>
unto this day
<03117>_,
The Angel
<04397>
which redeemed
<01350> (8802)
me from all evil
<07451>_,
bless
<01288> (8762)
the lads
<05288>_;
and let my name
<08034>
be named
<07121> (8735)
on them, and the name
<08034>
of my fathers
<01>
Abraham
<085>
and Isaac
<03327>_;
and let them grow
<01711> (8799)
into a multitude
<07230>
in the midst
<07130>
of the earth
<0776>_.
{grow: Heb. as fishes do increase}
And when Joseph
<03130>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that his father
<01>
laid
<07896> (8799)
his right
<03225>
hand
<03027>
upon the head
<07218>
of Ephraim
<0669>_,
it displeased
<03415> (8799) <05869>
him: and he held up
<08551> (8799)
his father's
<01>
hand
<03027>_,
to remove
<05493> (8687)
it from Ephraim's
<0669>
head
<07218>
unto Manasseh's
<04519>
head
<07218>_.
{displeased...: was evil in his eyes}
And Joseph
<03130>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his father
<01>_,
Not so, my father
<01>_:
for this [is] the firstborn
<01060>_;
put
<07760> (8798)
thy right hand
<03225>
upon his head
<07218>_.
And his father
<01>
refused
<03985> (8762)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I know
<03045> (8804)
[it], my son
<01121>_,
I know
<03045> (8804)
[it]: he also shall become a people
<05971>_,
and he also shall be great
<01431> (8799)_:
but truly
<0199>
his younger
<06996>
brother
<0251>
shall be greater
<01431> (8799)
than he, and his seed
<02233>
shall become a multitude
<04393>
of nations
<01471>_.
{multitude: Heb. fulness}
And he blessed
<01288> (8762)
them that day
<03117>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
In thee shall Israel
<03478>
bless
<01288> (8762)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
God
<0430>
make
<07760> (8799)
thee as Ephraim
<0669>
and as Manasseh
<04519>_:
and he set
<07760> (8799)
Ephraim
<0669>
before
<06440>
Manasseh
<04519>_.
