Genesis 48:6

And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, [and] shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.

And thy issue {H4138}, which thou begettest {H3205} after {H310} them, shall be thine, and shall be called {H7121} after {H5921} the name {H8034} of their brethren {H251} in their inheritance {H5159}.

The children born to you after them will be yours, but for purposes of inheritance they are to be counted with their older brothers.

Any children born to you after them shall be yours, and they shall be called by the names of their brothers in the territory they inherit.

And thy issue, that thou begettest after them, shall be thine; they shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.
