to
them ;

see
thy
face
I had not thought ,

himself on
his face to the earth ;

him.

out his right hand, and placeth
`
it '
upon the
head of
Ephraim
, who `is'
the younger, and his left hand upon the
head of

guided

God who
is
feeding
me from
my being
unto this day :

, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did
walk,
the
God which
fed
me all
my life
long
unto this day ,
the Messenger
who
is
redeeming
me from all evil doth
bless the youths,
and my name is
called
upon
them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and they
increase
into a multitude in the midst of the land
. '
The 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
.
And Joseph seeth
that his father setteth
his right hand on
the head of Ephraim, and
it is
wrong
in
his
eyes,
and he supporteth
the
hand
of
his father
to turn
it aside
from off
the
head of
Ephraim
to
the
head of
Manasseh;
And 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 .
and Joseph saith
unto his father, `
Not so, my father ,
for this `
is '
the first-born
; set
thy right hand on
his head. '
And Joseph said
unto his father, Not so, my father :
for this is the firstborn
; put
thy right hand upon
his head.

, and saith
, `
I have
known
, my son, I have
known;
he also becometh
a people, and he also is
great ,
and
yet,
his young
brother is
greater than he, and his seed is
the
fulness
of the
nations ;'
And 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 .

them in
that day, saying, `By
thee doth
Israel bless, saying, God set
thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh ;'
and he setteth
Ephraim before Manasseh.

them that day, saying, In
thee shall
Israel bless, saying, God make
thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh :

Ephraim before Manasseh.
And Israel saith
unto Joseph, `Lo
, I am
dying,
and
God hath
been
with you, and hath
brought
you back
unto the land of your fathers ;
And Israel said
unto Joseph, Behold
, I die:
but
God shall
be
with you, and bring
you again
unto the land of your fathers .

I
--
I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I have
taken
out of the hand of the Amorite by
my sword and by
my bow. '

I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took
