“And Israel beheld Joseph's sons and said, Who are these?”

9Joseph said to his father, "They are the sons God has given me in this place." So Jacob said, "Please bring them to me, that I may bless them."
“Joseph said to his father, they are my sons, whom God has given me in this place. And he said, please bring them to me, and I will bless them.”
“Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God has given me in this place. And he said, Please bring them to me, and I will bless them.”

10Now Israel's eyesight was poor because of old age; he could hardly see. Joseph brought his sons to him, and his father kissed them and embraced them.
“Now the eyes of Israel were dim with age, so that he could not see. Then Joseph brought them near him, and he kissed them and embraced them.”

11"I never expected to see your face again," Israel said to Joseph, "but now God has let me see your children as well."
“Israel said to Joseph, I never expected to see your face, and behold, God has let me see your children as well.”
“Israel said to Joseph, verse 11, I never expected to see your face, and behold, God has let me see your children as well.”
“Israel said to Joseph, I had not thought to see your face, but in fact God has shown me your offspring.”
“and Israel said unto Joseph I had not thought to see thy face and lo God hath shown me also thy seed.”
12Then Joseph removed his sons from his father's knees and bowed facedown.
“So Joseph brought them from beside his knees, and he bowed down with his face to the earth.”
“And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.”
“Then Joseph took them from his knees and bowed with his face to the ground.”
“And Joseph brought them out from between his knees and he bowed himself with a face to the earth.”
“and Joseph brought them out from between his knees and bowed himself With his face to the earth”
13And Joseph took both of them—with Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand—and brought them close to him.
“And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him.”
“And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him.”

“And Joseph took them both, Ephraim on his right hand towards Israel's left hand, and Manasseh with his left hand towards Israel's right hand, and brought them near him.”
“And Joseph took them both, his grandsons, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh with his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near.”
14But Israel stretched out his right hand and put it on the head of Ephraim, the younger; and crossing his hands, he put his left on Manasseh's head, although Manasseh was the firstborn.
“Then Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it on Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh's head, guiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn.”
“Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn.”

17When Joseph saw that his father had placed his right hand on Ephraim's head, he was displeased and took his father's hand to move it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's.

19But his father refused. "I know, my son, I know!" he said. "He too shall become a people, and he too shall be great; nevertheless, his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his offspring shall become a multitude of nations."
“And his father refused and said, I know it my son, I know it. And he also shall become a people. And he also shall be great, but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he. And his seed shall become a multitude of nations.”

20So that day Jacob blessed them and said: "By you shall Israel pronounce this blessing: 'May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh.'" So he put Ephraim before Manasseh.
“And he blessed them that day saying, In thee shall Israel bless saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh. And he set Ephraim before Manasseh.”
