Genesis 48:18-20
English Standard Version Anglicised
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, (A)“I know, my son, I know. He also shall become a people, and he also shall be great. Nevertheless, (B)his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his offspring shall become a multitude[a] of nations.” 20 So he blessed them that day, saying,
“By you Israel will pronounce blessings, saying,
(C)‘God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh.’”
Thus he put Ephraim before Manasseh.
