New King James Version
16 The Angel (A)who has redeemed me from all evil,
Bless the lads;
Let (B)my name be named upon them,
And the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac;
And let them (C)grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.”
17 Now when Joseph saw that his father (D)laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him; so he took hold of his father’s hand to remove it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head. 18 And Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father, for this one is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head.”
