Genesis 48:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² Jacob was told, “Your son Joseph has come to you.” So Israel became stronger and sat up in bed.

³ Jacob said to Joseph, “The Mighty God appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan. He blessed me there. ⁴ He said to me, ‘I am going to give you children. I will make your family very large. I will make you a community of nations. And I will give this land to your children after you. It will belong to them forever.’
