Genesis 48:11-13

New Century Version

¹¹ He said to Joseph, “I thought I would never see you alive again, and now God has let me see you and also your children.” ¹² Then Joseph moved his sons off Israel’s lap 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.
