Genesis 48:15-17
Legacy Standard Bible
15 And he blessed Joseph and said,
“(A)May the God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked,
(B)The God who has been my shepherd [a]throughout my life to this day,
16 (C)The angel who has redeemed me from all evil,
(D)Bless these boys;
And may my name [b]live on in them,
And the [c]names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac;
And (E)may they grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.”
17 But Joseph saw that his father (F)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.
