8 And Yisra El sees the sons of Yoseph, and says, Who are these?
9 And Yoseph says to his father, They are my sons, whom Elohim gave me. And he says, Take them, I pray you, to me; and I bless them.
10 And the eyes of Yisra El became heavy from aging so that he cannot see: and he brings them near him; and he kisses them and embraces them.
11 And Yisra El says to Yoseph, I had not prayed to see your face: and behold, Elohim also shows me your seed.
12 And Yoseph brings them out from between his knees and he prostrates with his nostrils to the earth:
13 and Yoseph takes the two of them, Ephrayim in his right toward the left of Yisra El; and Menash Sheh in his left toward the right of Yisra El and brings them near to him:
14 and Yisra El spreads his right and puts it on the head of Ephrayim the lesser and his left on the head of Menash Sheh - crossing his hands; for Menash Sheh is the firstbirth.
15 And he blesses Yoseph and says, Elohim, at whose face my fathers Abraham and Yischaq walked, Elohim who tends me all my life long to this day,
16 the Angel who redeems me from all evil, bless the lads: and call my name on them and the name of my fathers Abraham and Yischaq: and that they spawn as fish into a multitude midst of the earth.
17 And Yoseph sees that his father put his right on the head of Ephrayim; and it is evil in his eyes: and he upholds the hand of his father to turn it aside from the head of Ephrayim to the head of Menash Sheh:
18 and Yoseph says to his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstbirth; put your right on his head.
19 And his father refuses and says, I know, my son, I know: he also becomes a people and he also greatens: but his younger brother becomes greater than he and his seed becomes a fulness of goyim.
20 And he blesses them that day, saying, In you, Yisra El blesses, saying, Elohim sets you as Ephrayim and as Menash Sheh: and he sets Ephrayim at the face of Menash Sheh.
