48:1 And it came to pass after 310 these things 1697, that [one] told 5598799 Joseph 3130, Behold, thy father 1 [is] sick 24708802: and he took 39478799 with him his two 8147 sons 1121, Manasseh 4519 and Ephraim 669.
48:4 And said 5598799 unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful 65098688, and multiply 72358689 thee, and I will make 54148804 of thee a multitude 6951 of people 5971; and will give 54148804 this land 776 to thy seed 2233 after thee 310 [for] an everlasting 5769 possession 272.
48:5 And now thy two 8147 sons 1121, Ephraim 669 and Manasseh 4519, which were born 32058737 unto thee in the land 776 of Egypt 4714 before 5704 I came 9358800 unto thee into Egypt 4714, [are] mine; as Reuben 7205 and Simeon 8095, they shall be mine.
48:6 And thy issue 4138, which thou begettest 32058689 after 310 them, shall be thine, [and] shall be called 71218735 after 5921 the name 8034 of their brethren 251 in their inheritance 5159.
48:7 And as for me, when I came 9358800 from Padan 6307, Rachel 7354 died 41918804 by me in the land 776 of Canaan 3667 in the way 1870, when 5750 yet [there was] but a little 3530 way 776 to come 9358800 unto Ephrath 672: and I buried her 69128799 there in the way 1870 of Ephrath 672; the same [is] Bethlehem 1035.
48:9 And Joseph 3130 said 5598799 unto his father 1, They [are] my sons 1121, whom God 430 hath given 54148804 me in this [place]. And he said 5598799, Bring them 39478798, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless 12888762 them.
48:12 And Joseph 3130 brought them out 33188686 from between 5973 his knees 1290, and he bowed 78128691 himself with his face 639 to the earth 776.
48:13 And Joseph 3130 took 39478799 them both 8147, Ephraim 669 in his right hand 3225 toward Israel's 3478 left hand 8040, and Manasseh 4519 in his left hand 8040 toward Israel's 3478 right hand 3225, and brought [them] near 50668686 unto him.
48:14 And Israel 3478 stretched out 79718799 his right hand 3225, and laid 78968799 [it] upon Ephraim's 669 head 7218, who [was] the younger 6810, and his left hand 8040 upon Manasseh's 4519 head 7218, guiding 79190 his hands 3027 wittingly 79198765; for Manasseh 4519 [was] the firstborn 1060.
48:16 The Angel 4397 which redeemed 13508802 me from all evil 7451, bless 12888762 the lads 5288; and let my name 8034 be named 71218735 on them, and the name 8034 of my fathers 1 Abraham 85 and Isaac 3327; and let them grow 17118799 into a multitude 7230 in the midst 7130 of the earth 776.(grow: Heb. as fishes do increase)
48:18 And Joseph 3130 said 5598799 unto his father 1, Not so, my father 1: for this [is] the firstborn 1060; put 77608798 thy right hand 3225 upon his head 7218.
48:19 And his father 1 refused 39858762, and said 5598799, I know 30458804 [it], my son 1121, I know 30458804 [it]: he also shall become a people 5971, and he also shall be great 14318799: but truly 199 his younger 6996 brother 251 shall be greater 14318799 than he, and his seed 2233 shall become a multitude 4393 of nations 1471.(multitude: Heb. fulness)
48:21 And Israel 3478 said 5598799 unto Joseph 3130, Behold, I die 41918801: but God 430 shall be with you, and bring you again 77258689 unto the land 776 of your fathers 1.
48:22 Moreover I have given 54148804 to thee one 259 portion 7926 above thy brethren 251, which I took 39478804 out of the hand 3027 of the Amorite 567 with my sword 2719 and with my bow 7198.
