Genesis 48:16-18
English Standard Version
16 (A)the angel who has (B)redeemed me from all evil, bless the boys;
and in them let (C)my name be carried on, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac;
and let them (D)grow into a multitude[a] in the midst of the earth.”
17 When Joseph saw that his father (E)laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him, and he took his father's hand to move it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head. 18 And Joseph said to his father, “Not this way, my father; since this one is the firstborn, put your right hand on his head.”
