Genesis 48:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the eldest: put thy right hand upon his head.
19 But his father refused, and said, I know well, my son, I know well: he shall be also a people, and he shall be great likewise: but his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall be full of nations.
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.
