Israel saw Joseph’s sons, and said, “Who are these?”
Joseph said to his father, “They are my sons, whom God has given me here.”
He said, “Please bring them to me, and I will bless them.”
Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he couldn’t see well.
Joseph brought them near to him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
Israel said to Joseph, “I didn’t think I would see your face, and behold, God has let me see your offspring also.”
Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
