Genesis 48
King James Version
48 And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
2 And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
3 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
4 And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.
5 And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.
6 And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.
7 And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem.
8 And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?
9 And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them.
10 Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
11 And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.
12 And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him.
14 And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn.
15 And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,
16 The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
17 And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head.
18 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
19 And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
20 And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
21 And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.
22 Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.

Якуб благословляет своих внуков – Манассу и Ефраима
48 Некоторое время спустя Юсуфу сказали:
– Твой отец болен, – и он взял с собой двух своих сыновей, Манассу и Ефраима.
2 Якубу сказали:
– К тебе пришёл твой сын Юсуф, – и Исроил собрался с силами, приподнялся и сел на постели.
3 Якуб сказал Юсуфу:
– Бог Всемогущий явился мне в Лузе, в земле Ханона, благословил меня 4 и сказал мне: «Я сделаю тебя плодовитым, размножу тебя, произведу от тебя множество народов и дам эту землю в вечное владение твоим потомкам».
5 Отныне двое твоих сыновей, рождённых тебе в Египте до моего прихода, станут моими. Ефраим и Манасса будут моими, как Рувим и Шимон; 6 дети же, рождённые у тебя после них, будут твоими, они унаследуют часть земли из доли своих братьев – Ефраима и Манассы. 7 Когда я возвращался из Паддана[a], Рахиля, к горю моему, умерла в земле Ханона, когда мы были ещё в пути, недалеко от Ефрафы. Поэтому я похоронил её там, у дороги в Ефрафу (то есть Вифлеем).
8 Увидев сыновей Юсуфа, Исроил спросил:
– Кто это?
9 Юсуф ответил отцу:
– Это сыновья, которых Всевышний дал мне здесь.
И тот сказал:
– Подведи их ко мне, чтобы мне благословить их.
10 Глаза Исроила ослабли от старости, он почти ослеп. Юсуф подвёл сыновей поближе к своему отцу, и тот поцеловал и обнял их.
11 Исроил сказал Юсуфу:
– Я и не мечтал вновь увидеть тебя, а Всевышний дал мне увидеть даже твоих детей.
12 Юсуф отвёл их от колен Исроила и поклонился ему лицом до земли. 13 Потом Юсуф поставил Ефраима справа от себя, по левую руку от Исроила, а Манассу слева от себя, по правую руку от Исроила, и подвёл их ближе к отцу. 14 Но Исроил протянул правую руку и возложил её на голову Ефраима, хотя он и был младше, а левую, перекрестив руки, он возложил на голову Манассы, хотя Манасса был первенцем.
15 Потом он благословил Юсуфа и сказал:
– Всевышний, перед Которым ходили
отцы мои Иброхим и Исхок,
Всевышний, Который был защитником[b] моим
всю мою жизнь до сего дня,
16 Ангел, Который берёг меня от всякого зла, –
да благословит этих детей.
Пусть продолжится в них моё имя
и имена моих отцов Иброхима и Исхока,
и пусть многочисленно будет их потомство на земле.
17 Когда Юсуф увидел, что отец возложил правую руку на голову Ефраима, он огорчился и взял отца за руку, чтобы переложить её с головы Ефраима на голову Манассы.
18 Юсуф сказал ему:
– Нет, отец, вот этот – первенец; положи правую руку на его голову.
19 Но отец отказался и сказал:
– Я знаю, мой сын, я знаю. От него тоже произойдёт народ, и он тоже станет велик. Но его младший брат будет выше него, и его потомки станут множеством народов.
20 И он благословил их в тот день и сказал:
– Ваши имена народ Исроила будет произносить как благословение, говоря: «Да сделает тебя Всевышний подобным Ефраиму и Манассе».
Так он поставил Ефраима впереди Манассы.
21 И Исроил сказал Юсуфу:
– Я умираю, но Всевышний будет с вами и возвратит вас в землю ваших отцов. 22 Я отдаю тебе, как высшему среди братьев, лишний горный кряж[c], который я отвоевал у аморреев мечом и луком.

Genesis 48
English Standard Version
Jacob Blesses Ephraim and Manasseh
48 After this, Joseph was told, “Behold, your father is ill.” So he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. 2 And it was told to Jacob, “Your son Joseph has come to you.” Then Israel summoned his strength and sat up in bed. 3 And Jacob said to Joseph, (A)“God Almighty[a] appeared to me at (B)Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me, 4 and said to me, ‘Behold, I will make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will make of you a company of peoples and will give this land to your offspring after you (C)for an everlasting possession.’ 5 And now your (D)two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, (E)are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine, as Reuben and Simeon are. 6 And the children that you fathered after them shall be yours. They shall be called by the name of their brothers in their inheritance. 7 As for me, when I came from Paddan, to my sorrow (F)Rachel died in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was still some distance[b] to go to Ephrath, and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).”
8 When Israel saw Joseph's sons, he said, “Who are these?” 9 Joseph said to his father, (G)“They are my sons, whom God has given me here.” And he said, “Bring them to me, please, that (H)I may bless them.” 10 Now (I)the eyes of Israel were dim with age, so that he could not see. So Joseph brought them near him, (J)and he kissed them and embraced them. 11 And Israel said to Joseph, (K)“I never expected to see your face; and behold, God has let me see your offspring also.” 12 Then Joseph removed them from his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth. 13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near him. 14 (L)And 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, (M)crossing his hands (for Manasseh was the firstborn). 15 And he blessed Joseph and said,
“The God (N)before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked,
the God who has been my shepherd all my life long to this day,
16 (O)the angel who has (P)redeemed me from all evil, bless the boys;
and in them let (Q)my name be carried on, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac;
and let them (R)grow into a multitude[c] in the midst of the earth.”
17 When Joseph saw that his father (S)laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him, and he took his father's hand to move it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head. 18 And Joseph said to his father, “Not this way, my father; since this one is the firstborn, put your right hand on his head.” 19 But his father refused and said, (T)“I know, my son, I know. He also shall become a people, and he also shall be great. Nevertheless, (U)his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his offspring shall become a multitude[d] of nations.” 20 So he blessed them that day, saying,
“By you Israel will pronounce blessings, saying,
(V)‘God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh.’”
Thus he put Ephraim before Manasseh. 21 Then Israel said to Joseph, “Behold, I am about to die, but (W)God will be with you and will bring you again to the land of your fathers. 22 Moreover, I have given to (X)you rather than to your brothers one mountain slope[e] that I took from the hand of the Amorites with my sword and with my bow.”
