Genesis 48:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 So he blessed them that day, and said, In thee Israel shall bless, and say, God make thee as [a]Ephraim and as Manasseh, and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
21 Then Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die, and God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of [b]your fathers.
22 Moreover, I have given unto thee one portion above thy brethren, which [c]I got out of the hand of the Amorite by my (A)sword and by my bow.
