Genesis 48:17-19

Darby Translation

¹⁷ When Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it was evil in his eyes; and he took hold of his father's hand to remove it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head.

¹⁸ And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father, for this is the firstborn: put thy right hand on his head.

¹⁹ But his father refused and said, I know, my son, I know: he also will become a people, and he also will be great; but truly his younger brother will be greater than he; and his seed will become the fulness of nations.
