Genesis 48:1-13

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>_.
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>_.
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,
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>_.
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.
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>_.
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>_.
And Israel
<03478>
beheld
<07200> (8799)
Joseph's
<03130>
sons
<01121>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Who [are] these?
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.
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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.
