Bereshis 48:18-20

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁸ And Yosef said unto aviv, Not so, Avi; for this is the bechor; put thy yamin upon his rosh.

¹⁹ And aviv refused, and said, I know it, beni (my son), I know it; he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; but truly achiv hakaton shall be greater than he, and his zera shall become a multitude of Goyim.

²⁰ And he made a brocha on them that day, saying, In thee shall Yisroel bless, saying, Elohim make thee like Ephrayim and like Menasheh; and he set Ephrayim before Menasheh.
