EasyEnglish Bible

11 Jacob said to Joseph, ‘I never thought that I would see you again. But now God has let me see your children too.’

12 Then Joseph removed his sons from Jacob's knees. He bent down low, with his face towards the ground. 13 He took his two sons near to Jacob. With his right hand, he put Ephraim beside Jacob's left hand. With his left hand, he put Manasseh beside Jacob's right hand.[a]
