7 When I came back from Paddan-aram, Rachel died, to my sorrow, on the road in the land of Canaan, with some distance yet to go to Ephrathah, so I buried her there near the road to Ephrathah, which is Bethlehem."
8 When Israel saw Joseph’s sons, he said, "Who are these?"
9 Joseph told his father, "They’re my sons, whom God gave me here."Israel said, "Bring them to me and I will bless them."
10 Because Israel’s eyesight had failed from old age and he wasn’t able to see, Joseph brought them close to him, and he kissed and embraced them.
11 Israel said to Joseph, "I didn’t expect I’d see your face, but now God has shown me your children too."
12 Then Joseph took them from Israel’s knees, and he bowed low with his face to the ground.
13 Joseph took both of them, Ephraim in his right hand at Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand at Israel’s right hand, and brought them close to him.
