Битие 48:17-19
1940 Bulgarian Bible
17 Но като видя Иосиф, че баща му възложи дясната си ръка на Ефремовата глава, не одобри; и дигна ръката на баща си, за да я премести от Ефремовата глава на Манасиевата глава.
18 И Иосиф рече на баща си: Не така, тате, защото ето първородният, възложи дясната си ръка на неговата глава.
19 Но баща му отказа, като рече: Зная синко, зная; и той ще стане племе; и той ще бъде велик; но по-младият му брат ще бъде по-голям от него, и потомството му ще стане множество народи.

17 When Joseph saw his father placing his right hand(A) on Ephraim’s head(B) 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.”(C)
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.(D) Nevertheless, his younger brother will be greater than he,(E) and his descendants will become a group of nations.(F)”
