Genesis 48:11-13

New International Reader's Version

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. ¹³ He placed Ephraim on his right, toward Israel’s left hand. He placed Manasseh on his left, toward Israel’s right hand. Then he brought them close to Israel.
