Genesis 48:1 - Prayer Tents

48And 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.H310H1697H559H3130H1H2470H3947H8147H1121H4519H669 2And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.H5046H3290H559H1121H3130H935H3478H2388H3427H4296 3And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,H3290H559H3130H410H7706H7200H3870H776H3667H1288 4And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.H559H6509H7235H5414H6951H5971H5414H776H2233H310H5769H272 5And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.H8147H1121H669H4519H3205H776H4714H5704H935H4714H7205H8095 6And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.H4138H3205H310H7121H5921H8034H251H5159 7And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem.H935H6307H7354H4191H776H3667H1870H5750H3530H776H935H672H6912H1870H672H1035 8And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?H3478H7200H3130H1121H559 9And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them.H3130H559H1H1121H430H5414H559H3947H1288 10Now 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.H5869H3478H3513H2207H3201H7200H5066H5401H2263 11And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.H3478H559H3130H6419H7200H6440H430H7200H2233 12And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.H3130H3318H5973H1290H7812H639H776 13And 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.H3130H3947H8147H669H3225H3478H8040H4519H8040H3478H3225H5066 14And 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.H3478H7971H3225H7896H669H7218H6810H8040H4519H7218H7919H3027H7919H4519H1060 15And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,H1288H3130H559H430H6440H1H85H3327H1980H430H7462H5750H3117 16The Angel which 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.H4397H1350H7451H1288H5288H8034H7121H8034H1H85H3327H1711H7230H7130H776 17And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head.H3130H7200H1H7896H3225H3027H7218H669H3415H5869H8551H1H3027H5493H669H7218H4519H7218 18And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.H3130H559H1H1H1060H7760H3225H7218 19And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.H1H3985H559H3045H1121H3045H5971H1431H199H6996H251H1431H2233H4393H1471 20And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.H1288H3117H559H3478H1288H559H430H7760H669H4519H7760H669H6440H4519 21And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.H3478H559H3130H4191H430H7725H776H1 22Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.H5414H259H7926H251H3947H3027H567H2719H7198
