So Joseph brought them near him, and he kissed them and embraced them.(B) 11 Israel said to Joseph, “I did not expect to see your face, and here God has let me see your children also.”(C) 12 Then Joseph removed them from his father’s knees,[a] and he bowed himself with his face to the earth. 13 Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s left and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel’s right, and brought them near 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 the head of Manasseh, crossing his hands, for Manasseh was the firstborn.(D) 15 He blessed Joseph and said,
“The God before whom my ancestors Abraham and Isaac walked,
the God who has been my shepherd all my life to this day,(E)
