"And he said to his son: “I have not been cheated out of seeing you. Moreover, God has shown me your offspring.” "
— Genesis 48:11, Catholic Public Domain 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.”
Then, seeing his sons, he said to him: “Who are these?”
He responded, “They are my sons, whom God gave to me as a gift in this place.” “Bring them to me,” he said, “so that I may bless them.”
For Israel’s eyes were clouded by reason of his great age, and he was unable to see clearly. And when they were placed up against him, he kissed and embraced them.
And he said to his son: “I have not been cheated out of seeing you. Moreover, God has shown me your offspring.”
And when Joseph had taken them from his father’s lap, he reverenced prone on the ground.
And he placed Ephraim on his right, that is, towards the left hand of Israel. Yet truly Manasseh was on his left, namely, towards his father’s right hand. And he placed them both up against him.
And he, extending his right hand, placed it over the head of Ephraim, the younger brother, but the left hand was on the head of Manasseh, who was the elder, so that his hands were crossed.
