Genesis 48:14-16
English Standard Version
14 (A)And Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it on the head of Ephraim, who was the younger, and his left hand on the head of Manasseh, (B)crossing his hands (for Manasseh was the firstborn). 15 And he blessed Joseph and said,
“The God (C)before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked,
the God who has been my shepherd all my life long to this day,
16 (D)the angel who has (E)redeemed me from all evil, bless the boys;
and in them let (F)my name be carried on, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac;
and let them (G)grow into a multitude[a] in the midst of the earth.”
