20 So (A)he blessed them that day, saying,

“By you Israel will pronounce blessing, saying,
‘May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh!’”

And so he put Ephraim before Manasseh. 21 Then Israel said to Joseph, “Behold, I am about to die, but (B)God will be with you, and (C)bring you back to the land of your fathers. 22 And I give you one [a]portion more than your brothers, (D)which I took from the hand of the Amorite with my sword and my bow.”
