full of the knowledge of the LORD,
as the waters cover the sea.

GE-48:1 And it came to pass after these things, that [one] told
Joseph,
Behold, thy father [is] sick: and he took with him his two sons,
Manasseh and
Ephraim.
GE-48:2 And [one] told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph
cometh unto
thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
GE-48:3 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto
me at Luz in
the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
GE-48:4 And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful,
and multiply
thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will
give this land
to thy seed after thee [for] an everlasting possession.
GE-48:5 And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were
born unto thee
in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, [are]
mine; as Reuben
and Simeon, they shall be mine.
GE-48:6 And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall
be thine, [and]
shall be called after the name of their brethren in their
inheritance.
GE-48:7 And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by
me in the land
of Canaan in the way, when yet [there was] but a little way to
come unto
Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same
[is]
Bethlehem.
GE-48:8 And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who [are]
these?
GE-48:9 And Joseph said unto his father, They [are] my sons,
whom God hath
given me in this [place]. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee,
unto me, and I
will bless them.
GE-48:10 Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, [so that] he
could not see.
And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and
embraced them.
GE-48:11 And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see
thy face: and,
lo, God hath showed me also thy seed.
GE-48:12 And Joseph brought them out from between his knees,
and he bowed
himself with his face to the earth.
GE-48:13 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.
GE-48:14 And 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.
GE-48:15 And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my
fathers Abraham
and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto
this day,
GE-48:16 The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the
lads; and let
my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and
Isaac; and
let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
GE-48:17 And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right
hand upon the
head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's
hand, to
remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head.
GE-48:18 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father:
for this [is]
the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
GE-48:19 And his father refused, and said, I know [it], my son,
I know [it]:
he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but
