So that day Jacob blessed them and said: "By you shall Israel pronounce this blessing: 'May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh.'" So he put Ephraim before Manasseh. Context 20He blessed them that day, saying,“By you Israel will pronounce blessing, saying, ‘May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh!’” Thus he put Ephraim before Manasseh. 21Then Israel said to Joseph, “Behold, I am about to die, but God will be with you, and bring you back to the land of your fathers. 22“I give you one portion more than your brothers, which I took from the hand of the Amorite with my sword and my bow.” Links Genesis 48:20 NIVGenesis 48:20 NLT Genesis 48:20 ESV Genesis 48:20 NASB Genesis 48:20 KJV Genesis 48:20 Commentaries Bible Hub |
