Genesis 48:14-16
Legacy Standard Bible
14 But Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it on the head of Ephraim, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh’s head, [a]crossing his hands, [b]although (A)Manasseh was the firstborn. 15 And he blessed Joseph and said,
“(B)May the God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked,
(C)The God who has been my shepherd [c]throughout my life to this day,
16 (D)The angel who has redeemed me from all evil,
(E)Bless these boys;
And may my name [d]live on in them,
And the [e]names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac;
And (F)may they grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.”
