1 And it shall be after these words, and it will be said to Joseph, Behold, thy father was sick: and he will take his two sons with him, Manasseh and Ephraim. 2 And it will be announced to Jacob, and it will be said, Behold, thy son Joseph came to thee: and Israel will be strengthened and will sit upon the rod. 3 And Jacob will say to Joseph, God Almighty was seen to me in Luz in the land of Canaan, and he will bless me. 4 And he will say to me, Behold, I making thee fruitful, and I multiplied thee, and I gave thee for an assembly of people; and I gave this land to thy seed after thee a possession forever. 5 And now, thy two sons having been born to thee in the land of Egypt, before I came to thee to Egypt, they are to me: Ephraim and Manasseh shall be to me as Reuben and Simeon. 6 And thy progeny which thou didst beget after them, shall be to thee; after the name of their brethren shall they be called in their inheritance.
