Genesis 48:8
Then Israel, looking at Joseph's sons, said, Who are these?

Genesis 48:9
And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God has given me in this land. And he said, Let them come near me, and I will give them a blessing.

Genesis 48:10
Now because Israel was old, his eyes were no longer clear, and he was not able to see. So he made them come near to him, and he gave them a kiss, folding them in his arms.

Genesis 48:11
And Israel said to Joseph, I had no hope of seeing your face again, but God in his mercy has let me see you and your children.

Genesis 48:12
Then Joseph took them from between his knees, and went down on his face to the earth.

Genesis 48:13
Then taking Ephraim with his right hand, Joseph put him at Israel's left side, and with his left hand he put Manasseh at Israel's right side, placing them near him.

Genesis 48:14
And Israel, stretching out his right hand, put it on the head of Ephraim, the younger, and his left hand on the head of Manasseh, crossing his hands on purpose, for Manasseh was the older.

Genesis 48:5
And now your two sons who came to birth in Egypt before I came to you here, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh will be mine, in the same way as Reuben and Simeon are.

Genesis 48:17
Now when Joseph saw that his father had put his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it did not seem right to him; and lifting his father's hand he would have put it on the head of Manasseh.

Genesis 48:18
And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father, for this is the older; put your right hand on his head.

Genesis 48:19
But his father would not, saying, I am doing it on purpose, my son; he will certainly become a nation and a great one; but his younger brother will be greater than he, and his seed will become a great family of nations.

Genesis 48:20
So he gave them his blessing that day, saying, You will be the sign of blessing in Israel, for they will say, May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh; and he put Ephraim before Manasseh.

Genesis 48:22
And I have given you more than your brothers, even Shechem as your heritage, which I took from the Amorites with my sword and my bow.

And make me food, good to the taste, such as is pleasing to me, and put it before me, so that I may have a meal and give you my blessing before death comes to me.

Genesis 27:27
And he came near and gave him a kiss; and smelling the smell of his clothing, he gave him a blessing, and said, See, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field on which the blessing of the Lord has come:

Genesis 49:28
These are the twelve tribes of Israel: and these are the words their father said to them, blessing them; to every one he gave his blessing.
