Iacov îi binecuvântează pe fiii lui Iosif

48 După toate acestea, într-o zi, Iosif a fost anunţat: „Tatăl tău este bolnav.“ Atunci acesta i-a luat cu el pe cei doi fii ai săi – pe Manase şi pe Efraim. 2 Când lui Iacov i s-a spus: „Fiul tău Iosif a venit la tine“, el şi-a adunat puterile şi a şezut pe pat. 3 Iacov i-a zis lui Iosif:

– Dumnezeul cel Atotputernic[a] mi S-a arătat la Luz, în Canaan, m-a binecuvântat 4 şi mi-a zis: „Te voi face roditor şi te voi înmulţi; te voi face o adunare de popoare şi voi da această ţară urmaşilor tăi după tine ca pe o proprietate veşnică.“ 5 De aceea cei doi fii ai tăi, care ţi s-au născut în ţara Egiptului, vor fi ai mei; Efraim şi Manase vor fi ai mei aşa cum sunt Ruben şi Simeon. 6 Urmaşii care ţi s-au născut după ei vor fi ai tăi. În teritoriul pe care îl vor moşteni, ei vor fi numiţi după numele fraţilor lor. 7 După ce m-am întors din Padan[b], Rahela a murit pe drum, în Canaan, înainte de a ajunge la Efrata; am îngropat-o acolo, pe drumul spre Efrata, adică Betleem.

8 Când Israel i-a văzut pe fiii lui Iosif, a întrebat:

– Cine sunt aceştia?

9 – Sunt fiii pe care Dumnezeu mi i-a dat aici, a răspuns Iosif.

– Adu-i la mine să-i binecuvântez, a zis el.

10 Vederea lui Israel slăbise din cauza bătrâneţii, astfel că nu mai vedea bine. Iosif i-a apropiat pe cei doi fii ai săi de el, iar Israel i-a sărutat şi i-a îmbrăţişat. 11 Apoi i-a zis lui Iosif:

– Nu mi-am închipuit c-o să te mai văd, dar Dumnezeu m-a ajutat să-ţi văd şi copiii.

12 Iosif i-a îndepărtat de lângă genunchii tatălui său[c] şi s-a plecat cu faţa până la pământ. 13 Apoi i-a luat pe amândoi, pe Efraim la dreapta sa şi la stânga lui Israel, iar pe Manase la stânga sa şi la dreapta lui Israel şi i-a apropiat de el. 14 Dar Israel, încrucişându-şi mâinile, şi-a întins mâna dreaptă şi a pus-o pe capul lui Efraim, care era mai mic, iar mâna stângă a pus-o pe capul lui Manase, deşi el era întâiul născut. 15 El l-a binecuvântat pe Iosif şi a zis:

„Dumnezeul înaintea Căruia au umblat strămoşii mei, Avraam şi Isaac,
    Dumnezeul Care a fost păstorul vieţii mele până astăzi,
16 Îngerul Care m-a scăpat din fiecare necaz,
    să-i binecuvânteze pe aceşti băieţi.
Ei să fie numiţi după numele meu
    şi după numele strămoşilor mei, Avraam şi Isaac,
        şi să se înmulţească foarte mult pe pământ.“

17 Când Iosif a văzut că tatăl său şi-a pus mâna dreaptă pe capul lui Efraim, nu i-a plăcut şi a luat mâna tatălui său ca să o mute de pe capul lui Efraim pe capul lui Manase. 18 El i-a zis tatălui său:

– Nu aşa, tată! Acesta este întâiul născut; pe capul lui pune-ţi mâna dreaptă.

19 Dar tatăl său a refuzat şi a răspuns:

– Ştiu, fiule, ştiu; şi el va ajunge un popor, şi el va fi mare. Totuşi fratele său mai mic va fi mai mare decât el, iar urmaşii lui vor ajunge o mulţime de neamuri.

20 Israel i-a binecuvântat în ziua aceea, zicând:

„În numele tău va binecuvânta Israel şi va zice:
    «Dumnezeu să te facă precum Efraim şi Manase.»“

Astfel, el l-a pus pe Efraim înaintea lui Manase. 21 Apoi Israel i-a zis lui Iosif:

– Eu voi muri, dar Dumnezeu va fi cu voi şi vă va întoarce în ţara strămoşilor voştri. 22 Ţie, care eşti deasupra fraţilor tăi, îţi dau Şehemul[d] pe care l-am luat cu sabia şi cu arcul meu din mâna amoriţilor.

Israel Blesses Manasseh and Ephraim

48 Now it happened after these things that [a]Joseph was told, “Behold, your father is sick.” So he took his two sons (A)Manasseh and Ephraim with him. 2 Then [b]it was told to Jacob, “Behold, your son Joseph has come to you,” so Israel strengthened himself and sat [c]up in the bed. 3 Then Jacob said to Joseph, “[d](B)God Almighty appeared to me at (C)Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me, 4 and He said to me, ‘Behold, I will make you fruitful and multiply, and I will make you an assembly of peoples, and I will give this land to your seed after you for (D)an everlasting possession.’ 5 So now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, are mine; (E)Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine, as (F)Reuben and Simeon are. 6 But your kin that [e]have been born after them shall be yours; they shall be called by the [f]names of their brothers in their inheritance. 7 Now as for me, when I came from (G)Paddan, (H)Rachel died, [g]to my sorrow, in the land of Canaan on the journey, when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath; and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).”

8 Then Israel (I)saw Joseph’s sons and said, “Who are these?” 9 And Joseph said to his father, “(J)They are my sons, whom God has given me here.” So he said, “Bring them to me, please, that (K)I may bless them.” 10 Now (L)the eyes of Israel were so dim from age that he could not see. Then [h]Joseph brought them close to him, and he (M)kissed them and embraced them. 11 Then Israel said to Joseph, “I never [i]expected to see your face, and behold, God has let me see your seed as well.” 12 Then Joseph [j]took them from his knees and (N)bowed with his face to the ground. 13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim with his right hand toward Israel’s left, and Manasseh with his left hand toward Israel’s right, and brought them close to him. 14 But Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it on the head of Ephraim, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh’s head, [k]crossing his hands, [l]although (O)Manasseh was the firstborn. 15 And he blessed Joseph and said,

“(P)May the God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked,
(Q)The God who has been my shepherd [m]throughout my life to this day,
16 (R)The angel who has redeemed me from all evil,
(S)Bless these boys;
And may my name [n]live on in them,
And the [o]names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac;
And (T)may they grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.”

17 But Joseph saw that his father (U)set his right hand on Ephraim’s head, and it was displeasing in his sight; so he took hold of his father’s hand to remove it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head. 18 And Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father, for this one is the firstborn. Place your right hand on his head.” 19 But his father refused and said, “I know, my son, I know; he also will become a people, and he also will be great. However, his younger brother shall be greater than he, and (V)his seed shall become the fullness of nations.” 20 (W)And he blessed them that day, saying,

“By you Israel will pronounce blessing, saying,
‘May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh!’”

Thus he put Ephraim before Manasseh. 21 Then Israel said to Joseph, “Behold, I am about to die, but (X)God will be with you and (Y)will bring you back to the land of your fathers. 22 And I give you one [p]portion more than your brothers, (Z)which I took from the hand of the Amorite with my sword and my bow.”

Manasseh and Ephraim

48 Some time later Joseph was told, “Your father is ill.” So he took his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim(A) along with him. 2 When Jacob was told, “Your son Joseph has come to you,” Israel(B) rallied his strength and sat up on the bed.

3 Jacob said to Joseph, “God Almighty[a](C) appeared to me at Luz(D) in the land of Canaan, and there he blessed me(E) 4 and said to me, ‘I am going to make you fruitful and increase your numbers.(F) I will make you a community of peoples, and I will give this land(G) as an everlasting possession to your descendants after you.’(H)

5 “Now then, your two sons born to you in Egypt(I) before I came to you here will be reckoned as mine; Ephraim and Manasseh will be mine,(J) just as Reuben(K) and Simeon(L) are mine. 6 Any children born to you after them will be yours; in the territory they inherit they will be reckoned under the names of their brothers. 7 As I was returning from Paddan,[b](M) to my sorrow(N) Rachel died in the land of Canaan while we were still on the way, a little distance from Ephrath. So I buried her there beside the road to Ephrath” (that is, Bethlehem).(O)

8 When Israel(P) saw the sons of Joseph,(Q) he asked, “Who are these?”

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

Then Israel said, “Bring them to me so I may bless(S) them.”

10 Now Israel’s eyes were failing because of old age, and he could hardly see.(T) So Joseph brought his sons close to him, and his father kissed them(U) and embraced them.(V)

11 Israel(W) said to Joseph, “I never expected to see your face again,(X) and now God has allowed me to see your children too.”(Y)

12 Then Joseph removed them from Israel’s knees(Z) and bowed down with his face to the ground.(AA) 13 And Joseph took both of them, Ephraim on his right toward Israel’s left hand and Manasseh on his left toward Israel’s right hand,(AB) and brought them close to him. 14 But Israel(AC) reached out his right hand and put it on Ephraim’s head,(AD) though he was the younger,(AE) and crossing his arms, he put his left hand on Manasseh’s head, even though Manasseh was the firstborn.(AF)

15 Then he blessed(AG) Joseph and said,

“May the God before whom my fathers
    Abraham and Isaac walked faithfully,(AH)
the God who has been my shepherd(AI)
    all my life to this day,
16 the Angel(AJ) who has delivered me from all harm(AK)
    —may he bless(AL) these boys.(AM)
May they be called by my name
    and the names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac,(AN)
and may they increase greatly
    on the earth.”(AO)

17 When Joseph saw his father placing his right hand(AP) on Ephraim’s head(AQ) he was displeased; so he took hold of his father’s hand to move it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head. 18 Joseph said to him, “No, my father, this one is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head.”(AR)

19 But his father refused and said, “I know, my son, I know. He too will become a people, and he too will become great.(AS) Nevertheless, his younger brother will be greater than he,(AT) and his descendants will become a group of nations.(AU)” 20 He blessed(AV) them that day(AW) and said,

“In your[c] name will Israel(AX) pronounce this blessing:(AY)
    ‘May God make you like Ephraim(AZ) and Manasseh.(BA)’”

So he put Ephraim ahead of Manasseh.

21 Then Israel said to Joseph, “I am about to die, but God will be with you[d](BB) and take you[e] back to the land of your[f] fathers.(BC) 22 And to you I give one more ridge of land[g](BD) than to your brothers,(BE) the ridge I took from the Amorites with my sword(BF) and my bow.”
