“ Now then, two sons were born to you in Egypt. It happened before I came to you here. They will be counted as my own sons. Ephraim and Manasseh will belong to me, in the same way that Reuben and Simeon belong to me.Any children born to you after them will belong to you. Any territory they receive will come from the land that will be given to Ephraim and Manasseh.As I was returning from Paddan, Rachel died. It made me very sad. She died in the land of Canaan while we were still on the way. We weren’t very far away from Ephrath. So I buried her body there beside the road to Ephrath.” Ephrath was also called Bethlehem.Israel saw Joseph’s sons. He asked,“ Who are they?”“ They are the sons God has given me here,” Joseph said to his father. Then Israel said,“ Bring them to me. I want to give them my blessing.”Israel’s eyes were weak because he was old. He couldn’t see very well. So Joseph brought his sons close to him. His father kissed them and hugged them.Israel said to Joseph,“ I never thought I’d see your face again. But now God has let me see your children too.”Then Joseph lifted his sons off Israel’s knees. Joseph bowed down with his face to the ground.He placed Ephraim on his right, toward Israel’s left hand. He placed Manasseh on his left, toward Israel’s right hand. Then he brought them close to Israel.But Israel reached out his right hand and put it on Ephraim’s head. He did it even though Ephraim was the younger son. He crossed his arms and put his left hand on Manasseh’s head. He did it even though Manasseh was the older son.Then Israel gave Joseph his blessing. He said,“ May God bless these boys. He is the God of my grandfather Abraham and my father Isaac. They walked faithfully with him. He is the God who has been my shepherd all my life right up to this day.He is the Angel who has saved me from all harm. May he bless these boys. May they be called by my name. May they also be called by the names of my grandfather Abraham and my father Isaac. And may the number of them greatly increase on the earth.”Joseph saw his father putting his right hand on Ephraim’s head. And Joseph didn’t like it. So he took hold of his father’s hand to move it over to Manasseh’s head.Joseph said to him,“ No, my father. Here’s my older son. Put your right hand on his head.”But his father wouldn’t do it. He said,“ I know, my son. I know. He too will become a nation. He too will become great. But his younger brother will be greater than he is. His children after him will become a group of nations.”On that day, Jacob gave them his blessing. He said,“ The people of Israel will bless others in your name. They will say,‘ May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh.’ ” So he put Ephraim ahead of Manasseh.Then Israel said to Joseph,“ I’m about to die. But God will be with all of you. He’ll take you back to the land of your fathers.But to you, Joseph, I am giving more land than your brothers. I’m giving you the land I took from the Amorites. I took it with my sword and bow.”

“ Give me your word that you will do it,” Jacob said. So Joseph gave him his word. And Israel worshiped God as he leaned on the top of his walking stick.Some time later Joseph was told,“ Your father is sick.” So he took his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim along with him.
