    8When Israel saw Joseph’s sons, he asked, 'Who are these?'

    9Joseph said to his father, 'They are my sons whom God has given to me here.' Israel said, 'Bring them to me, please, so I may bless them.'

    10Now 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.

    11Israel said to Joseph, 'I never expected to see your face again, but now God has even let me see your children.'

    12Joseph removed the boys from Israel’s knees and bowed down with his face to the ground.

    13Then 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.

    14But 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.

    15Then 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,'
