In context

10 Now, the eyes of Israel, had become dim from old age,—he could not see,—so he drew them near unto him, and kissed them, and embraced them.

11 And Israel said unto Joseph, To see thine own face, had I not thought,—and lo! God hath caused me to see even thy seed!

12 And Joseph brought them out from beside his knees, and bowed himself down with his face towards the earth.

13 And Joseph took them both,—Ephraim in his right hand on Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand, on Israel’s right hand, and drew them near unto him.

14 Then Israel put forth his right hand and laid it upon the head of Ephraim, though, he, was the younger, and his left hand upon the head of Manasseh,—crossing his hands, although, Manasseh, was the first-born.

15 Thus blessed he Joseph, and said,—God himself—before whom walked my fathers. Abraham and Isaac, God himself—who hath been my shepherd, since I came into being until this day;—

16 The Messenger—who hath been my redeemer from all evil—bless the lads! And may there be called upon them, my name, and the name of my fathers. Abraham and Isaac; And may they swarm into a multitude, in the midst of the earth!
