Genesis 48:20-22

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁰So he blessed them that day, saying,

“By you Israel will pronounce blessings, saying,
‘God make you as E′phraim and as Manas′seh’”;

and thus he put E′phraim before Manas′seh. ²¹Then Israel said to Joseph, “Behold, I am about to die, but God will be with you, and will bring you again to the land of your fathers. ²²Moreover I have given to you rather than to your brothers one mountain slope^[a] which I took from the hand of the Amorites with my sword and with my bow.”
