THE FINAL DAYS OF YISRA EL
And so be it, after these words, someone tells Yoseph, Behold, your father is sick: and he takes with him his two sons, Menash Sheh and Ephrayim. 2 And someone tells Yaaqov and says, Behold, your son Yoseph comes to you. - and Yisra El strengthens himself and sits on the bed. 3 And Yaaqov says to Yoseph, El Shadday appeared to me at Luz in the land of Kenaan and blesses me, 4 and says to me, Behold, I have you bear fruit and abound you and I give you a congregation of people; and give this land to your seed after you for an eternal possession. 5 And now your two sons, Ephrayim and Menash Sheh, birthed to you in the land of Misrayim until I came to you into Misrayim, they are mine; as Reu Ben and Shimon, they are mine: 6 and your kindred, which you birthed after them, they are yours: call them after the name of their brothers in their inheritance. 7 And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Kenaan in the way when there was still a bit of land to come to Ephrath: and I entombed her there in the way of Ephrath - Beth Lechem. 8 And Yisra El sees the sons of Yoseph, and says, Who are these? 9 And Yoseph says to his father, They are my sons, whom Elohim gave me. And he says, Take them, I pray you, to me; and I bless them. 10 And the eyes of Yisra El became heavy from aging so that he cannot see: and he brings them near him; and he kisses them and embraces them. 11 And Yisra El says to Yoseph, I had not prayed to see your face: and behold, Elohim also shows me your seed. 12 And Yoseph brings them out from between his knees and he prostrates with his nostrils to the earth: 13 and Yoseph takes the two of them, Ephrayim in his right toward the left of Yisra El; and Menash Sheh in his left toward the right of Yisra El and brings them near to him: 14 and Yisra El spreads his right and puts it on the head of Ephrayim the lesser and his left on the head of Menash Sheh - crossing his hands; for Menash Sheh is the firstbirth. 15 And he blesses Yoseph and says, Elohim, at whose face my fathers Abraham and Yischaq walked, Elohim who tends me all my life long to this day, 16 the Angel who redeems me from all evil, bless the lads: and call my name on them and the name of my fathers Abraham and Yischaq: and that they spawn as fish into a multitude midst of the earth. 17 And Yoseph sees that his father put his right on the head of Ephrayim; and it is evil in his eyes: and he upholds the hand of his father to turn it aside from the head of Ephrayim to the head of Menash Sheh: 18 and Yoseph says to his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstbirth; put your right on his head. 19 And his father refuses and says, I know, my son, I know: he also becomes a people and he also greatens: but his younger brother becomes greater than he and his seed becomes a fulness of goyim. 20 And he blesses them that day, saying, In you, Yisra El blesses, saying, Elohim sets you as Ephrayim and as Menash Sheh: and he sets Ephrayim at the face of Menash Sheh. 21 And Yisra El says to Yoseph, Behold, I die: and Elohim be with you and return you to the land of your fathers. 22 Moreover I give to you one shoulder above your brothers, which I took from the hand of the Emoriy with my sword and with my bow.
