|
16. The Angel H4397 which redeemed H1350 me from all H4480 H3605 evil H7451 , bless H1288 H853 the lads H5288 ; and let my name H8034 be named H7121 on them , and the name H8034 of my fathers H1 Abraham H85 and Isaac H3327 ; and let them grow H1711 into a multitude H7230 in the midst H7130 of the earth H776 .

|
|
18. And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father! For this one is the first-born; put your right hand on his head.
|
18. And Joseph H3130 said H559 unto H413 his father H1 , Not H3808 so H3651 , my father H1 : for H3588 this H2088 is the firstborn H1060 ; put H7760 thy right hand H3225 upon H5921 his head H7218 .
|
|
19. And his father refused and said, I know, my son, I know. He also shall be a people, and he shall become great. But his younger brother shall become greater than he, and his seed shall become the fullness of the nations.
|
19. And his father H1 refused H3985 , and said H559 , I know H3045 it , my son H1121 , I know H3045 it : he H1931 also H1571 shall become H1961 a people H5971 , and he H1931 also H1571 shall be great H1431 : but truly H199 his younger H6996 brother H251 shall be greater H1431 than H4480 he , and his seed H2233 shall become H1961 a multitude H4393 of nations H1471 .

|
|
21. And Israel said to Joseph, See, I am dying; and God will be with you, and will return you to the land of your fathers.
|
21. And Israel H3478 said H559 unto H413 Joseph H3130 , Behold H2009 , I H595 die H4191 : but God H430 shall be H1961 with H5973 you , and bring you again H7725 H853 unto H413 the land H776 of your fathers H1 .
|
|
22. And I will give to you one spur of land beyond your brothers, which I took from the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.
|
22. Moreover I H589 have given H5414 to thee one H259 portion H7926 above H5921 thy brethren H251 , which H834 I took H3947 out of the hand H4480 H3027 of the Amorite H567 with my sword H2719 and with my bow H7198 .
