Israel said, 'Bring them to me, please, so I may bless them.' 10 Now Israel’s eyes were failing due to old age—he could not see well. Joseph brought the boys near to him, and he kissed them and embraced them. 11 Israel said to Joseph, 'I never expected to see your face again, but now God has even let me see your children.' 12 Joseph removed the boys from Israel’s knees and bowed down with his face to the ground. 13 Then Joseph took them both—Ephraim with his right hand toward Israel’s left, and Manasseh with his left hand toward Israel’s right—and brought them close to him. 14 But Israel stretched out his right hand and placed it on Ephraim’s head, though he was the younger; and crossing his hands, he placed his left hand on Manasseh’s head, even though Manasseh was the firstborn. 15 Then he blessed Joseph and said, 'The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked faithfully, the God who has been my shepherd all my life to this day,' 16 'The Angel who redeemed me from all harm, may he bless these boys. May they be called by my name and the names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac. May they grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.' 17 When Joseph saw his father placing his right hand on Ephraim’s head, it displeased him; so he took hold of his father’s hand to move it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s. 18 Joseph said to his father, 'No, my father, this one is the firstborn; place your right hand on his head.' 19 But his father refused and said, 'I know, my son, I know. He too will become a people, and he too will be great. Nevertheless, his younger brother will be greater than he, and his descendants will become a group of nations.' 20 On that day, he blessed them and said, 'By you, Israel will pronounce this blessing: May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh.' So he placed Ephraim ahead of Manasseh.
