19 But his father refused and said, |I know, my son, I know. He too will become a nation and he too will become great. In spite of this, his younger brother will be even greater and his descendants will become a multitude of nations.| 20 So he blessed them that day, saying, |By you will Israel bless, saying, 'May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh.'| So he put Ephraim before Manasseh.
