Genesis 48:5-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵ “So your two sons, who were born in Egypt before I came here, are my sons. Ephraim and Manasseh will be mine just as Reuben and Simeon are. ⁶ Any other children you have after them will be yours. They will inherit the land listed under their brothers’ names. ⁷ As I was coming back from Paddan, Rachel died in Canaan when we were still some distance from Ephrath. So I buried her there on the way to Ephrath” (that is, Bethlehem).
