Genesis 48:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 But Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it on [a]Ephraim’s head which was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh’s head (directing his hands of purpose) for Manasseh was the elder.
15 ¶ (A)Also he blesseth Joseph, and said, The God, before whom my fathers, Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which hath fed me all my life long, unto this day, bless thee.
16 The [b]Angel, which hath delivered me from all evil, bless the children, and let my [c]name be named upon them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac, that they may grow as fish into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
