³ Then Jacob said to Joseph, “God Almighty appeared to me at Luz, in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,

⁴ “and said to me, ‘Behold, I will make you fruitful, and will multiply you, and will make a great number of people from you and will give this land to your seed after you, for an everlasting possession.’

⁵ “And now, your two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim (who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you into Egypt) shall be mine, as Reuben and Simeon are mine.
