1 After these things Joseph was told, |Your father is weakening.| So he took his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim with him. 2 When Jacob was told, |Your son Joseph has just come to you,| Israel regained strength and sat up on his bed. 3 Jacob said to Joseph, |The sovereign God appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me. 4 He said to me, 'I am going to make you fruitful and will multiply you. I will make you into a group of nations, and I will give this land to your descendants as an everlasting possession.' Genesis 48:1-4, New English Translation.
