Genesis 48:11-13

Expanded Bible

¹¹ He said to Joseph, “I thought I would never see ·you alive [^Lyour face] again, and now God has ·let me see you and [^Lshown me] also your ·children [^Lseed].” ¹² Then Joseph moved his sons off ·Israel’s lap [^Lhis knees] and bowed facedown to the ground. ¹³ He put Ephraim on his right side and Manasseh on his left. (So Ephraim was near Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh was near Israel’s right hand.) Joseph brought the boys close to Israel.
