Genesis 48:18-20

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁸ And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father, for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.

¹⁹ And his father refused and said, I know it, my son, I know it; he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of Gentiles.

²⁰ And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh. And he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
