10 ( For the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not well see) Then he caused them to come to him, and he kissed them and embraced them.
11 And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to have seen thy face: yet lo, God hath showed me also thy seed.
12 And Joseph took them away from his knees, and did reverence [a]down to the ground.
