Genesis 48:9-11
International Standard Version
9 “These are my sons,” Joseph replied.[a] “God gave them to me here in Egypt.”[b]
“Please bring them close to me,” Jacob[c] said, “so I can bless them.”
10 Now Israel’s eyesight had become poor[d] from age. Because he couldn’t see well, Joseph brought them close to him, and Israel[e] kissed them both and embraced them. 11 Then he told Joseph, “I never thought I’d see you again, and now God has allowed me to see your children as well!”
