18 And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father, for this is the firstborn: put thy right hand on his head.
19 But his father refused and said, I know, my son, I know: he also will become a people, and he also will be great; but truly his younger brother will be greater than he; and his seed will become the fulness of nations.
20 And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee will Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and Manasseh! And he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
21 And Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I die; and God will be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers.
22 And I have given to thee one tract of land above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.
