Genesis 48:9-11

New Catholic Bible

⁹ Joseph said to his father, “They are the sons whom God has given me here.”

Israel said, “Bring them to me so that I can bless them.”

¹⁰ The eyes of Israel were dim in his old age. He could no longer see. Joseph approached him, kissed him, and embraced him. ¹¹ Israel said to Joseph, “I did not believe that I would see you face to face, and now, behold, God has granted me even to see your children.”
