Chapter 48 And it came to pass after these
things, that one told Joseph, Behold,

00:06.200 --> 00:07.380
thy father is sick.

00:07.580 --> 00:10.600
And he took with him his two sons,
Manasseh and Ephraim.

00:10.960 --> 00:14.940
And one told Jacob, and said, Behold,
thy son Joseph cometh unto thee.

00:15.080 --> 00:17.900
And Israel strengthened himself,
and sat upon the bed.

00:18.360 --> 00:24.700
And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty
appeared unto me at Laz in the land of

00:24.700 --> 00:31.060
Canaan, and blessed me, And said unto me,
Behold, I will make thee fruitful,

00:31.600 --> 00:32.740
and multiply thee.

00:33.220 --> 00:39.100
And I will make of thee a multitude of
people, And will give this land to thy

00:39.100 --> 00:42.600
seed after thee, for an everlasting
possession.

00:43.520 --> 00:51.800
And thou thy two sons, Ephraim and
Manasseh, Which were born unto thee in the

00:51.800 --> 00:57.500
land of Egypt, Before I came unto thee
into Egypt, are mine.

00:58.240 --> 01:02.300
As Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.

01:02.880 --> 01:10.740
And thy issue, which thou begettest after
them, shall be thine, And shall be called

01:10.740 --> 01:14.740
after the name of their brethren in their
inheritance.

01:15.780 --> 01:24.700
And as for me, when I came from Paden,
Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in

01:24.700 --> 01:29.940
the way, When yet there was but a little
way to come unto Ephrath.

01:30.740 --> 01:37.560
And I buried her there in the way of
Ephrath, the same as Bethlehem.

01:37.660 --> 01:41.680
And Israel beheld Joseph's sons,
and said, Who are these?

01:41.840 --> 01:45.960
And Joseph said unto his father,
They are my sons, whom God hath given me

01:45.960 --> 01:46.580
in this place.

01:46.940 --> 01:52.040
And he said, Bring them, I pray thee,
unto me, and I will bless them.

01:52.300 --> 01:55.820
Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age,
so that he could not see.

01:56.320 --> 01:59.560
And he brought them near unto him,
and he kissed them, and embraced them.

01:59.840 --> 02:06.400
And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not
thought to see thy face, and lo,

02:07.020 --> 02:09.960
God hath showed me also thy seed.

02:10.080 --> 02:13.860
And Joseph brought them out from between
his knees, and he bowed himself with his

02:13.860 --> 02:14.700
face to the earth.

02:14.700 --> 02:19.220
And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his
right hand toward Israel's left hand,

02:19.560 --> 02:23.320
and Manasseh in his left hand toward
Israel's right hand, and brought them near

02:23.320 --> 02:23.860
unto him.

02:24.300 --> 02:27.740
And Israel stretched out his right hand,
and laid it upon Ephraim's head,

02:27.880 --> 02:32.220
who was the younger, and his left hand
upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands

02:32.220 --> 02:34.300
wittingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn.

02:34.960 --> 02:40.620
And he blessed Joseph, and said,
God, before whom my fathers Abraham and

02:40.620 --> 02:48.160
Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all
my life long unto this day, the angel

02:48.160 --> 02:55.940
which redeemed me from all evil,
bless the lads, and let my name be named

02:55.940 --> 03:04.200
on them, and the name of my fathers
Abraham and Isaac, and let them grow into

03:04.200 --> 03:07.900
a multitude in the midst of the earth.

03:07.900 --> 03:12.040
And when Joseph saw that his father laid
his right hand upon the head of Ephraim,

03:12.300 --> 03:13.180
it displeased him.

03:13.520 --> 03:17.520
And he held up his father's hand to remove
it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's

03:17.520 --> 03:17.820
head.

03:18.140 --> 03:21.640
And Joseph said unto his father,
Not so, my father, for this is the

03:21.640 --> 03:22.100
firstborn.

03:22.360 --> 03:23.980
Put thy right hand upon his head.

03:24.100 --> 03:28.720
And his father refused, and said,
I know it, my son, I know it.

03:29.260 --> 03:33.620
He also shall become a people,
and he also shall be great.

03:33.620 --> 03:41.560
But truly his younger brother shall be
greater than he, and his seed shall become

03:41.560 --> 03:43.420
a multitude of nations.

03:43.740 --> 03:49.120
And he blessed them that day, saying,
In thee shall Israel bless, saying,

03:49.560 --> 03:53.760
God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh.

03:53.820 --> 03:56.340
And he set Ephraim before Manasseh.

03:56.360 --> 04:02.480
And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold,
I die, but God shall be with you,

04:02.860 --> 04:05.580
and bring you again unto the land of your
fathers.

04:06.520 --> 04:13.620
Moreover, I have given to thee one portion
above thy brethren, which I took out of

04:13.620 --> 04:18.400
the hand of the Amorite with my sword and
with my bow.
