Genesis 48:5-22

48:5
And now thy two
<08147>
sons
<01121>_,
Ephraim
<0669>
and Manasseh
<04519>_,
which were born
<03205> (8737)
unto thee in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
before
<05704>
I came
<0935> (8800)
unto thee into Egypt
<04714>_,
[are] mine; as Reuben
<07205>
and Simeon
<08095>_,
they shall be mine.
48:6
And thy issue
<04138>_,
which thou begettest
<03205> (8689)
after
<0310>
them, shall be thine, [and] shall be called
<07121> (8735)
after
<05921>
the name
<08034>
of their brethren
<0251>
in their inheritance
<05159>_.
48:7
And as for me, when I came
<0935> (8800)
from Padan
<06307>_,
Rachel
<07354>
died
<04191> (8804)
by me in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>
in the way
<01870>_,
when
<05750>
yet [there was] but a little
<03530>
way
<0776>
to come
<0935> (8800)
unto Ephrath
<0672>_:
and I buried her
<06912> (8799)
there in the way
<01870>
of Ephrath
<0672>_;
the same [is] Bethlehem
<01035>_.
48:8
And Israel
<03478>
beheld
<07200> (8799)
Joseph's
<03130>
sons
<01121>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Who [are] these?
48:9
And Joseph
<03130>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his father
<01>_,
They [are] my sons
<01121>_,
whom God
<0430>
hath given
<05414> (8804)
me in this [place]. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Bring them
<03947> (8798)_,
I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless
<01288> (8762)
them.
48:10
Now the eyes
<05869>
of Israel
<03478>
were dim
<03513> (8804)
for age
<02207>_,
[so that] he could
<03201> (8799)
not see
<07200> (8800)_.
And he brought them near
<05066> (8686)
unto him; and he kissed
<05401> (8799)
them, and embraced
<02263> (8762)
them. {dim: Heb. heavy}
48:11
And Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Joseph
<03130>_,
I had not thought
<06419> (8765)
to see
<07200> (8800)
thy face
<06440>_:
and, lo, God
<0430>
hath shewed
<07200> (8689)
me also thy seed
<02233>_.
48:12
And Joseph
<03130>
brought them out
<03318> (8686)
from between
<05973>
his knees
<01290>_,
and he bowed
<07812> (8691)
himself with his face
<0639>
to the earth
<0776>_.
48:13
And Joseph
<03130>
took
<03947> (8799)
them both
<08147>_,
Ephraim
<0669>
in his right hand
<03225>
toward Israel's
<03478>
left hand
<08040>_,
and Manasseh
<04519>
in his left hand
<08040>
toward Israel's
<03478>
right hand
<03225>_,
and brought [them] near
<05066> (8686)
unto him.
48:14
And Israel
<03478>
stretched out
<07971> (8799)
his right hand
<03225>_,
and laid
<07896> (8799)
[it] upon Ephraim's
<0669>
head
<07218>_,
who [was] the younger
<06810>_,
and his left hand
<08040>
upon Manasseh's
<04519>
head
<07218>_,
guiding
<07919> (0)
his hands
<03027>
wittingly
<07919> (8765)_;
for Manasseh
<04519>
[was] the firstborn
<01060>_.
48:15
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>_,
48:16
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}
48:17
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}
48:18
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>_.
48:19
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}
48:20
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>_.
48:21
And Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Joseph
<03130>_,
Behold, I die
<04191> (8801)_:
but God
<0430>
shall be with you, and bring you again
<07725> (8689)
unto the land
<0776>
of your fathers
<01>_.
48:22
Moreover I have given
<05414> (8804)
to thee one
<0259>
portion
<07926>
above thy brethren
<0251>_,
which I took
<03947> (8804)
out of the hand
<03027>
of the Amorite
<0567>
with my sword
<02719>
and with my bow
<07198>_.
