Genesis 48:16-18
EasyEnglish Bible

16 He is the Angel who has kept me safe.[a]
I pray that he will bless these boys.
I pray that, because of them, people will remember my name,
and the names of my ancestors, Abraham and Isaac.
I pray that they will have many descendants who live all over the earth.’

17 Joseph saw that his father had put his right hand on Ephraim's head. This made Joseph upset. So he took hold of his father's right hand. He moved it from Ephraim's head on to Manasseh's head. 18 Joseph said to Jacob, ‘No, my father. This boy is the firstborn son. Put your right hand on his head.’
