Genesis 48:14

Jacob knew that Ephraim’s *descendants would be greater than Manasseh’s *descendants. (See verse 19.) God told him this.

v15 And Israel blessed them. He said,

‘My fathers Abraham and Isaac lived in front of God’s face.

And God has led me through all my life to this day.

v16 He is the *angel who has rescued me from all evil things.

He shall bless these boys.

They shall be called by my name

and by the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac.

Let them increase greatly on the earth.’
