Genesis 48:15-22
English Standard Version
15 And he blessed Joseph and said,
“The God (A)before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked,
the God who has been my shepherd all my life long to this day,
16 (B)the angel who has (C)redeemed me from all evil, bless the boys;
and in them let (D)my name be carried on, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac;
and let them (E)grow into a multitude[a] in the midst of the earth.”
17 When Joseph saw that his father (F)laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him, and he took his father's hand to move it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head. 18 And Joseph said to his father, “Not this way, my father; since this one is the firstborn, put your right hand on his head.” 19 But his father refused and said, (G)“I know, my son, I know. He also shall become a people, and he also shall be great. Nevertheless, (H)his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his offspring shall become a multitude[b] of nations.” 20 So he blessed them that day, saying,
“By you Israel will pronounce blessings, saying,
(I)‘God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh.’”
Thus he put Ephraim before Manasseh. 21 Then Israel said to Joseph, “Behold, I am about to die, but (J)God will be with you and will bring you again to the land of your fathers. 22 Moreover, I have given to (K)you rather than to your brothers one mountain slope[c] that I took from the hand of the Amorites with my sword and with my bow.”

6 When they came, he looked on (A)Eliab and thought, “Surely the Lord's anointed is before him.” 7 But the Lord said to Samuel, (B)“Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, (C)but the Lord looks on the heart.” 8 Then Jesse called (D)Abinadab and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.” 9 Then Jesse made (E)Shammah pass by. And he said, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.” 10 And Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, “The Lord has not chosen these.” 11 Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all your sons here?” And he said, (F)“There remains yet the youngest,[a] but behold, he is keeping the sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse, (G)“Send and get him, for we will not sit down till he comes here.”
