Genesis 48:14-16
Young's Literal Translation
14 And Israel putteth out his right hand, and placeth [it] upon the head of Ephraim, who [is] the younger, and his left hand upon the head of Manasseh; he hath guided his hands wisely, for Manasseh [is] the first-born.
15 And he blesseth Joseph, and saith, `God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked habitually: God who is feeding me from my being unto this day:
16 the Messenger who is redeeming me from all evil doth bless the youths, and my name is called upon them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and they increase into a multitude in the midst of the land.'

“May the God before whom my fathers
Abraham and Isaac walked faithfully,(F)
the God who has been my shepherd(G)
all my life to this day,
16 the Angel(H) who has delivered me from all harm(I)

and may they increase greatly
on the earth.”(M)
