Genesis 48:10-12
New International Reader's Version
10 Israel’s eyes were weak because he was old. He couldn’t see very well. So Joseph brought his sons close to him. His father kissed them and hugged them.
11 Israel said to Joseph, “I never thought I’d see your face again. But now God has let me see your children too.”
12 Then Joseph lifted his sons off Israel’s knees. Joseph bowed down with his face to the ground.
