19 But his father refused. |I know,| he said. |I know. He's going to produce a large nation, and he's going to be very great. However, his younger brother will become even greater than he, and his descendants will become a multitude of nations.| 20 That very day, Jacob blessed them with this blessing: |By you Israel will extend this blessing: 'May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh!'| By doing this, he placed Ephraim before Manasseh.
