Chapter 48
| Gene | Darby | 48:1 | And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick. And he took with him his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim. | |
| Gene | Darby | 48:2 | And one told Jacob and said, Behold, thy son Joseph is coming to thee. And Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed. | |
| Gene | Darby | 48:3 | And Jacob said to Joseph, The AlmightyGod appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me, | |
| Gene | Darby | 48:4 | and he said to me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a company of peoples; and will give this land to thy seed after thee [for] an everlasting possession. | |
| Gene | Darby | 48:5 | And now thy two sons, who were born to thee in the land of Egypt before I came to thee into Egypt, shall be mine: Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine, as Reuben and Simeon. | |
| Gene | Darby | 48:6 | And thy family which thou hast begotten after them shall be thine: they shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance. | |
| Gene | Darby | 48:7 | And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was yet a certain distance to come to Ephrath; and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath, that is, Bethlehem. | |
| Gene | Darby | 48:9 | And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whomGod has given me here. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, to me, that I may bless them. | |
| Gene | Darby | 48:10 | But the eyes of Israel were heavy from age: he could not see. And he brought them nearer to him; and he kissed them, and embraced them. | |
| Gene | Darby | 48:11 | And Israel said to Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face; and behold,God has let me see also thy seed. | |
| Gene | Darby | 48:12 | And Joseph brought them out from his knees, and bowed down with his face to the earth. | |
| Gene | Darby | 48:13 | And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought [them] near to him. | |
| Gene | Darby | 48:14 | But Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid [it] on Ephraim's head — now he was the younger — and his left hand on Manasseh's head; guiding his hands intelligently, for Manasseh was the firstborn. | |
| Gene | Darby | 48:15 | And he blessed Joseph, and said, TheGod before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, theGod that shepherded me all my life long to this day, | |
| Gene | Darby | 48:16 | the Angel that redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named upon them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the land! | |
| Gene | Darby | 48:17 | When Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it was evil in his eyes; and he took hold of his father's hand to remove it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head. | |
| Gene | Darby | 48:18 | And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father, for this is the firstborn: put thy right hand on his head. | |
| Gene | Darby | 48:19 | 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. | |
| Gene | Darby | 48:20 | 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. | |
| Gene | Darby | 48:21 | And Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I die; andGod will be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers. | |
