Genesis 48:18-20

Darby Translation

¹⁸ And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father, for this is the firstborn: put thy right hand on his head.

¹⁹ But his father refused and said, I know, my son, I know: he also will become a people, and he also will be great; but truly his younger brother will be greater than he; and his seed will become the fulness of nations.

²⁰ And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee will Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and Manasseh! And he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
