Genesis 48:16-18

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ “The Angel, who has delivered me from all evil, bless the children; and let my name be named upon them, and the name of my fathers, Abraham and Isaac, so that they may grow as fish into a multitude in the midst of the Earth.”

¹⁷ But when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him. And he held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head.

¹⁸ And Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father. For this is the eldest. Put your right hand upon his head.”
