Genesis 48:1-22

48:1

And it came to pass after
<0310>

these things
<01697>_,

that [one] told
<0559> (8799)

Joseph
<03130>_,

Behold, thy father
<01>

[is] sick
<02470> (8802)_:

and he took
<03947> (8799)

with him his two
<08147>

sons
<01121>_,

Manasseh
<04519>

and Ephraim
<0669>_.

48:2

And [one] told
<05046> (8686)

Jacob
<03290>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, thy son
<01121>

Joseph
<03130>

cometh
<0935> (8802)

unto thee: and Israel
<03478>

strengthened
<02388> (8691)

himself, and sat
<03427> (8799)

upon the bed
<04296>_.

48:3

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joseph
<03130>_,

God
<0410>

Almighty
<07706>

appeared
<07200> (8738)

unto me at Luz
<03870>

in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

and blessed
<01288> (8762)

me,

48:4

And said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful
<06509> (8688)_,

and multiply
<07235> (8689)

thee, and I will make
<05414> (8804)

of thee a multitude
<06951>

of people
<05971>_;

and will give
<05414> (8804)

this land
<0776>

to thy seed
<02233>

after thee
<0310>

[for] an everlasting
<05769>

possession
<0272>_.

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>_.

Genesis 9:24

9:24

And Noah
<05146>

awoke
<03364> (8799)

from his wine
<03196>_,

and knew
<03045> (8799)

what his younger
<06996>

son
<01121>

had done
<06213> (8804)

unto him.
