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

    9Joseph said to his father,“They are the sons God has given me in this place.” His father said,“Bring them to me so I may bless them.”

    10Now Israel’s eyes were failing because of his age; he was not able to see well. So Joseph brought his sons near to him, and his father kissed them and embraced them.
