Chapter 48
And
it
came
to
passe
after
these
things,
that
one
told
Ioseph,
Behold,
thy
father
is
sicke:
and
he
tooke
with
him
his
two
sonnes,
Manasseh
and
Ephraim.
2
And
one
told
Iacob,
and
said,
Behold,
thy
sonne
Ioseph
commeth
vnto
thee:
and
Israel
strengthened
himselfe,
and
sate
vpon
the
bed.
3
And
Iacob
saide
vnto
Ioseph,
God
Almightie
appeared
vnto
mee
at
Luz
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
and
blessed
mee,
4
And
said
vnto
me,
Behold,
I
wil
make
thee
fruitfull,
and
multiplie
thee,
and
I
will
make
of
thee
a
multitude
of
people,
and
will
giue
this
land
to
thy
seede
after
thee,
for
an
euerlasting
possession.
5
And
now
thy
two
sonnes,
Ephraim
and
Manasseh,
which
were
borne
vnto
thee
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
before
I
came
vnto
thee
into
Egypt,
are
mine:
as
Reuben
and
Simeon,
they
shalbe
mine.
6
And
thy
issue
which
thou
begettest
after
them,
shall
be
thine,
and
shall
be
called
after
the
name
of
their
brethren
in
their
inheritance.
7
And
as
for
me,
when
I
came
from
Padan,
Rachel
died
by
me
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
in
the
way,
when
yet
there
was
but
a
little
way
to
come
vnto
Ephrath:
and
I
buried
her
there
in
the
way
of
Ephrath,
the
same
is
Bethlehem.
8
And
Israel
behelde
Iosephs
sonnes,
and
said,
Who
are
these?
9
And
Ioseph
said
vnto
his
father,
They
are
my
sonnes,
whom
God
hath
giuen
me
in
this
place:
and
he
said,
Bring
them,
I
pray
thee,
vnto
me,
and
I
will
blesse
them.
10
(Now
the
eyes
of
Israel
were
dimme
for
age,
so
that
he
could
not
see,)
and
hee
brought
them
neere
vnto
him,
and
he
kissed
them,
and
imbraced
them.
11
And
Israel
said
vnto
Ioseph,
I
had
not
thought
to
see
thy
face:
and
loe,
God
hath
shewed
me
also
thy
seed.
12
And
Ioseph
brought
them
out
from
betweene
his
knees,
and
hee
bowed
himselfe
with
his
face
to
the
earth.
13
And
Ioseph
tooke
them
both,
Ephraim
in
his
right
hand,
toward
Israels
left
hand,
and
Manasseh
in
his
left
hand
towards
Israels
right
hand,
and
brought
them
neere
vnto
him.
14
And
Israel
stretched
out
his
right
hand,
and
layd
it
vpon
Ephraims
head
who
was
the
yonger;
and
his
left
hand
vpon
Manassehs
head,
guiding
his
hands
wittingly:
for
Manasseh
was
the
first
borne.
15
And
he
blessed
Ioseph
and
said,
God
before
whom
my
fathers
Abraham
and
Isaac
did
walke,
the
God
which
fedde
mee
all
my
life
long
vnto
this
day,
16
The
Angel
which
redeemed
mee
from
all
euill,
blesse
the
laddes,
and
let
my
name
be
named
on
them,
and
the
name
of
my
fathers
Abraham
and
Isaac,
and
let
them
grow
into
a
multitude
in
the
midst
of
the
earth.
17
And
when
Ioseph
saw
that
his
father
laide
his
right
hand
vpon
the
head
of
Ephraim,
it
displeased
him:
and
he
held
vp
his
fathers
hand,
to
remoue
it
from
Ephraims
head,
vnto
Manassehs
head.
18
And
Ioseph
saide
vnto
his
father,
Not
so
my
father:
for
this
is
the
first
borne;
put
thy
right
hand
vpon
his
head.
19
And
his
father
refused,
and
said,
I
know
it,
my
sonne,
I
know
it:
he
also
shall
become
a
people,
and
he
also
shall
be
great:
but
truely
his
yonger
brother
shall
be
greater
then
he;
and
his
seede
shall
become
a
multitude
of
nations.
20
And
he
blessed
them
that
day,
saying,
In
thee
shall
Israel
blesse,
saying,
God
make
thee
as
Ephraim,
and
as
Manasseh:
and
he
set
Ephraim
before
Manasseh.
21
And
Israel
saide
vnto
Ioseph,
Behold,
I
die:
but
God
shall
be
with
you,
and
bring
you
againe
vnto
the
land
of
your
fathers.
22
Moreouer
I
haue
giuen
to
thee
one
portion
aboue
thy
brethren,
which
I
tooke
out
of
the
hand
of
the
Amorite
with
my
sword,
and
with
my
bow.
