Genesis 48:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ And he said: I will cause thee to increase and multiply, and I will make of thee a multitude of people: and I will give this land to thee, and to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.

⁵ So thy two sons who were born to thee in the land of Egypt before I came hither to thee, shall be mine: Ephraim and Manasses shall be reputed to me as Ruben and Simeon.

⁶ But the rest whom thou shalt have after them, shall be thine, and shall be called by the name of their brethren in their possessions.
