Genesis 48:4-6

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁴ He said to me, ‘I will make you fruitful and numerous; I will make many nations come from you, and I will give this land as an eternal possession^(A) to your future descendants.’^{(B) 5} Your two sons^(C) born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt are now mine.^(D) Ephraim and Manasseh belong to me just as Reuben and Simeon do. ⁶ Children born to you after them will be yours and will be recorded under the names of their brothers with regard to their inheritance.
