9 H3130 And Joseph H559 said [H8799] H1 unto his father H1121 , They are my sons H430 , whom God H5414 hath given [H8804] H559 me in this place . And he said [H8799] H3947 , Bring them [H8798] H1288 , I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless [H8762] them.

10 H5869 Now the eyes H3478 of Israel H3513 were dim [H8804] H2207 for age H3201 , so that he could [H8799] H7200 not see [H8800] H5066 . And he brought them near [H8686] H5401 unto him; and he kissed [H8799] H2263 them, and embraced [H8762] them.

11 H3478 And Israel H559 said [H8799] H3130 unto Joseph H6419 , I had not thought [H8765] H7200 to see [H8800] H6440 thy face H430 : and, lo, God H7200 hath shewed [H8689] H2233 me also thy seed.

12 H3130 And Joseph H3318 brought them out [H8686] H5973 from between H1290 his knees H7812 , and he bowed [H8691] H639 himself with his face H776 to the earth.

13 H3130 And Joseph H3947 took [H8799] H8147 them both H669 , Ephraim H3225 in his right hand H3478 toward Israel's H8040 left hand H4519 , and Manasseh H8040 in his left hand H3478 toward Israel's H3225 right hand H5066 , and brought them near [H8686] unto him.

14 H3478 And Israel H7971 stretched out [H8799] H3225 his right hand H7896 , and laid [H8799] H669 it upon Ephraim's H7218 head H6810 , who was the younger H8040 , and his left hand H4519 upon Manasseh's H7218 head H7919 , guiding H3027 his hands H7919 wittingly [H8765] H4519 ; for Manasseh H1060 was the firstborn.

15 H1288 And he blessed [H8762] H3130 Joseph H559 , and said [H8799] H430 , God H6440 , before H1 whom my fathers H85 Abraham H3327 and Isaac H1980 did walk [H8694] H430 , the God H7462 which fed [H8802] H5750 me all my life long H3117 unto this day,

16 H4397 The Angel H1350 which redeemed [H8802] H7451 me from all evil H1288 , bless [H8762] H5288 the lads H8034 ; and let my name H7121 be named [H8735] H8034 on them, and the name H1 of my fathers H85 Abraham H3327 and Isaac H1711 ; and let them grow [H8799] H7230 into a multitude H7130 in the midst H776 of the earth.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me here. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them. ¹⁰ Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them. ¹¹ And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath let me see thy seed also. ¹² And Joseph brought them out from between his knees; and he bowed himself with his face to the earth. 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 unto him. ¹⁴ And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn. ¹⁵ And he blessed Joseph, and said, The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which hath fed me all my life long unto this day, ¹⁶ the angel which hath redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
