Genesis 48:19-21

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁹ But his father refused, and said, “I know well, my son. I know well. He shall also be a people; and he shall likewise be great. But his younger brother shall be greater than he; and his seed shall be full of nations.”

²⁰ So, he blessed them that day, and said, “In you, Israel shall bless and say, ‘God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh.” And he set Ephraim before Manasseh.

²¹ Then Israel said to Joseph, “Behold, I die. And God shall be with you and bring you back to the land of your fathers.
