Genesis 48:4-6

New International Version

⁴ and said to me, ‘I am going to make you fruitful and increase your numbers.^(A) I will make you a community of peoples, and I will give this land^(B) as an everlasting possession to your descendants after you.’^(C)

⁵ “Now then, your two sons born to you in Egypt^(D) before I came to you here will be reckoned as mine; Ephraim and Manasseh will be mine,^(E) just as Reuben^(F) and Simeon^(G) are mine. ⁶ Any children born to you after them will be yours; in the territory they inherit they will be reckoned under the names of their brothers.
