Genesis 48:5

And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, [are] mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.

And now thy two {H8147} sons {H1121}, Ephraim {H669} and Manasseh {H4519}, which were born {H3205} unto thee in the land {H776} of Egypt {H4714} before {H5704} I came {H935} unto thee into Egypt {H4714}, are mine; as Reuben {H7205} and Simeon {H8095}, they shall be mine.

Now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, are mine; Efrayim and M'nasheh will be as much mine as Re'uven and Shim'on are.

And now your two sons born to you in Egypt before I came to you here shall be reckoned as mine; Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine, just as Reuben and Simeon are mine.

And now thy two sons, who were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh, even as Reuben and Simeon, shall be mine.
