雅各祝福以法蓮和瑪拿西
48 後來，有人來通知約瑟，說他父親病了，約瑟就帶著兩個兒子瑪拿西和以法蓮去探望父親。 2 雅各聽說約瑟來了，就強撐著從床上坐起來， 3 對約瑟說：「全能的上帝曾經在迦南的路斯向我顯現，賜福給我。 4 祂對我說，『我必使你生養眾多，子孫興旺，並把迦南賜給你和你的後裔永遠作產業。』
5 「我來之前，你在埃及生的兩個兒子以法蓮和瑪拿西都算我的，他們可以像呂便和西緬一樣承受我的產業。 6 除了他們以外，你其他子女仍然歸你，這些子女可以在他們弟兄的名下繼承產業。 7 我從巴旦回來的路上，拉結死在了迦南，那地方離以法他還有一段路程，我把她葬在通往以法他的路旁。」以法他就是伯利恆。
8 以色列看見約瑟的兩個兒子，就問：「這是誰？」 9 約瑟說：「是上帝在這裡賜給我的兒子。」以色列說：「把他們帶過來，我要祝福他們。」 10 以色列因為年老眼睛已經昏花。約瑟把兒子帶到他面前，他就親吻他們、擁抱他們。 11 以色列對約瑟說：「我以為再也見不到你了，上帝竟然還讓我見到了你的兒子！」 12 約瑟把兩個兒子從以色列的膝旁領開，自己向父親俯伏下拜， 13 隨後左手牽著瑪拿西，右手牽著以法蓮，把他們分別領到以色列的右邊和左邊。 14 但以色列卻兩手交叉，把右手放在約瑟次子以法蓮的頭上，左手放在約瑟長子瑪拿西的頭上。 15 他祝福約瑟說：「願我祖先亞伯拉罕和以撒敬拜的上帝，牧養我一生直到今天的上帝， 16 救我脫離一切患難的天使，賜福這兩個孩子。願我和我祖先亞伯拉罕及以撒的名字藉著他們流傳。願他們在地上子孫興旺。」
17 約瑟見父親把右手放在以法蓮的頭上，感到不悅，就把父親的右手從以法蓮的頭上挪到瑪拿西頭上， 18 對父親說：「父親，你弄錯了，這才是長子，你應該把右手按在他的頭上。」 19 他父親卻不同意，說：「我兒啊，我知道，我知道。他必發展成一個強大的民族，但他弟弟將比他更強大，他弟弟的後裔必成為多個民族。」 20 雅各那天祝福他們，說：「以色列人必引用你們的名祝福人，說，『願上帝使你們像以法蓮和瑪拿西一樣！』」他把以法蓮排在瑪拿西前面。
21 以色列對約瑟說：「我快死了，但上帝必與你們同在，帶你們回到你們祖先的土地。 22 我要把我用刀和弓從亞摩利人手上奪來的那塊地留給你，讓你比其他弟兄多得一份。」

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.”

King James Version
48 And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
2 And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
3 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
4 And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.
5 And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.
6 And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.
7 And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem.
8 And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?
9 And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them.
10 Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
11 And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.
12 And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him.
14 And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn.
15 And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,
16 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.
17 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.
18 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
19 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.
20 And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
21 And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.
22 Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.

雅各祝福以法蓮和瑪拿西
48 這些事以後，有人對約瑟說：“你的父親病了。”約瑟就帶著兩個兒子瑪拿西和以法蓮同去。 2 有人告訴雅各，說：“你的兒子約瑟到你這裡來了。”以色列就勉強在床上坐起來。 3 雅各對約瑟說：“全能的 神曾經在迦南地的路斯向我顯現，賜福給我， 4 對我說：‘我必使你繁衍增多，成為一大族；我必把這地賜給你的後裔，作永遠的產業。’ 5 我未到埃及見你之前，你在埃及地生了兩個兒子，現在他們算是我的；以法蓮和瑪拿西是我的，好像流本和西緬是我的一樣。 6 你在他們以後所生的子孫，都是你的；不過，在繼承產業的事上，他們可以歸在他們哥哥的名下。 7 至於我，我從巴旦回來的時候，在迦南地的路上，那裡到以法他還有一段路程，拉結就死在我身邊；我在那裡把她埋葬在以法他的路旁。以法他就是伯利恆。”
雅各祝福約瑟
8 以色列看見約瑟的兒子，就問：“他們是誰？” 9 約瑟回答父親：“他們是我的兒子，是 神在這裡賜給我的。”以色列說：“把他們領到我這裡來，我要給他們祝福。” 10 以色列因為年老，眼睛昏花，看不清楚。約瑟領他們到他跟前去，他就與他們親吻，擁抱他們。 11 以色列對約瑟說：“我想不到可以看見你的面，現在 神竟使我見到你的後裔。” 12 約瑟把兩個兒子從以色列膝上抱下來，自己臉伏在地下拜。 13 約瑟領著他們兩個到以色列的跟前，以法蓮在約瑟的右邊對著以色列的左邊；瑪拿西在約瑟的左邊對著以色列的右邊。 14 但是，以色列兩手交叉，右手按在次子以法蓮的頭上，左手按在長子瑪拿西的頭上。 15 他祝福約瑟，說：
“願我祖亞伯拉罕和以撒所侍候的 神，
一生牧養我直到今日的 神，
16 那救我脫離一切禍患的使者，賜福給這兩個童子。
願我的名，我祖亞伯拉罕和以撒的名，藉著他們得以流傳；
願他們在地上生養眾多。”
17 約瑟見他父親把右手按在以法蓮的頭上，心裡就不高興，於是拿住他父親的手，要從以法蓮的頭上移到瑪拿西的頭上。 18 約瑟對他父親說：“爸爸啊，不是這樣，這個才是長子，請你把右手按在他的頭上。” 19 他父親卻不肯，說：“我知道，我兒啊，我知道，他也要成為一族，也要強大；只是他弟弟比他還要強大，他的後裔要成為多族。” 20 那一天，以色列給他們祝福，說：
“以色列人要用你的名祝福人，說：
‘願 神使你像以法蓮和瑪拿西一樣。’”於是，以色列立以法蓮在瑪拿西之上。
21 以色列又對約瑟說：“看哪，我快要死了，但是 神必與你們同在，必領你們回到你們祖先的土地去。 22 現在我把從前用刀和弓，從亞摩利人手中奪過來的那塊山地賜給你，使你比眾兄弟多得一份。”
