Genesis 48:15-17
English Standard Version
15 And he blessed Joseph and said,
“The God (A)before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked,
the God who has been my shepherd all my life long to this day,
16 (B)the angel who has (C)redeemed me from all evil, bless the boys;
and in them let (D)my name be carried on, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac;
and let them (E)grow into a multitude[a] in the midst of the earth.”
17 When Joseph saw that his father (F)laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him, and he took his father's hand to move it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head.
