Genesis 48:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ The angel that delivereth me from all evils, bless these boys: and let my name be called upon them, and the names of my fathers Abraham, and Isaac, and may they grow into a multitude upon the earth.

¹⁷ And Joseph seeing that his father had put his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, was much displeased: and taking his father's hand he tried to lift it from Ephraim's head, and to remove it to the head of Manasses.

¹⁸ And he said to his father: It should not be so, my father: for this is the firstborn, put thy right hand upon his head.
