Genesis 48:3-5

New International Version - UK

³ Jacob said to Joseph, ‘God Almighty^[a] appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and there he blessed me ⁴ and said to me, “I am going to make you fruitful and increase your numbers. I will make you a community of peoples, and I will give this land as an everlasting possession to your descendants after you.”

⁵ ‘Now then, your two sons born to you in Egypt before I came to you here will be reckoned as mine; Ephraim and Manasseh will be mine, just as Reuben and Simeon are mine.
