American King James Version
"And Israel said to Joseph, I had not thought to see your face: and, see, God has showed me also your seed. "
— Genesis 48:11, American King James Version
“And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.”
“And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath let me see thy seed also. ”
“Israel said to Joseph, "I didn't think I would see your face, and behold, God has let me see your seed also."”
“Israel said to Joseph,“I never expected to see you again, but now God has allowed me to see your children too.””
“And said to his son: I am not deprived of seeing thee; moreover God hath shewn me thy seed.”
“And Israel said to Joseph, I had no hope of seeing your face again, but God in his mercy has let me see you and your children.”
“And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.”
And Israel beheld Joseph’s sons, and said, Who are these?
And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God has given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray you, to me, and I will bless them.
Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near to him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
And Israel said to Joseph, I had not thought to see your face: and, see, God has showed me also your seed.
And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
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 to him.
And 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 wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn. ¶
