Genesis 48:17-19

21st Century King James Version

¹⁷ And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him; and he held up his father’s hand to remove it from Ephraim’s head unto Manasseh’s head.

¹⁸ And Joseph said unto his father, “Not so, my father, for this is the firstborn. Put thy right hand upon his head.”

¹⁹ And his father refused and said, “I know it, my son, I know it. He also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.”
