Genesis 48 — Context

And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father, for this is the older; put your right hand on his head.

But his father would not, saying, I am doing it on purpose, my son; he will certainly become a nation and a great one; but his younger brother will be greater than he, and his seed will become a great family of nations.

So he gave them his blessing that day, saying, You will be the sign of blessing in Israel, for they will say, May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh; and he put Ephraim before Manasseh.

Then Israel said to Joseph, Now my death is near; but God will be with you, guiding you back to the land of your fathers.

And I have given you more than your brothers, even Shechem as your heritage, which I took from the Amorites with my sword and my bow.
