Genesis 48:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ Israel saw Joseph’s sons. He asked, “Who are they?”

⁹ “They are the sons God has given me here,” Joseph said to his father.

Then Israel said, “Bring them to me. I want to give them my blessing.”

¹⁰ Israel’s eyes were weak because he was old. He couldn’t see very well. So Joseph brought his sons close to him. His father kissed them and hugged them.
