Genesis 48:18-20 And Joseph said to his father, Not so, father; for this is the first-born; lay thy right-hand upon his head.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ And Joseph said to his father, Not so, father; for this is the first-born; lay thy right-hand upon his head. ¹⁹ And he would not, but said, I know it, son, I know it; he also shall be a people, and he shall be exalted, but his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. ²⁰ And he blessed them in that day, saying, In you shall Israel be blessed, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and Manasse; and he set Ephraim before Manasse.
