1 After this happened, Joseph was told, "Your father is getting weaker," so he took his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim with him.
2 When Jacob was informed, "Your son Joseph is here now," he pulled himself together and sat up in bed.
3 Jacob said to Joseph, "God Almighty appeared to me in Luz in the land of Canaan. He blessed me
4 and said to me, ‘I am about to give you many children, to increase your numbers, and to make you a large group of peoples. I will give this land to your descendants following you as an enduring possession.’
5 Now, your two sons born to you in the land of Egypt before I arrived in Egypt are my own. Ephraim and Manasseh are just like Reuben and Simeon to me.
6 Your family who is born to you after them are yours, but their inheritance will be determined under their brothers’ names.
