Genesis 48:1-6 (Revised Standard Version)
View In My Bible
1
After this Joseph was told, "Behold, your father is ill"; so he took with him his two sons, Manas'seh and E'phraim.
2
And it was told to Jacob, "Your son Joseph has come to you"; then Israel summoned his strength, and sat up in bed.
3
And 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 multiply you, and I will make of you a company of peoples, and will give this land to your descendants after you for an everlasting possession.'
5
And now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, are mine; E'phraim and Manas'seh shall be mine, as Reuben and Simeon are.
6
And the offspring born to you after them shall be yours; they shall be called by the name of their brothers in their inheritance.
