And born to Joseph in the land of Egypt (whom Asenath daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of On, hath borne to him) are Manasseh and Ephraim.

And it cometh to pass, after these things, that one saith to Joseph, `Lo, thy father is sick;' and he taketh his two sons with him, Manasseh and Ephraim.

`And now, thy two sons, who are born to thee in the land of Egypt, before my coming unto thee to Egypt, mine they are ; Ephraim and Manasseh, as Reuben and Simeon they are mine;

and Joseph taketh them both, Ephraim in his right hand towards Israel's left, and Manasseh in his left towards Israel's right, and bringeth them nigh to him.

And Israel putteth out his right hand, and placeth it upon the head of Ephraim, who is the younger, and his left hand upon the head of Manasseh; he hath guided his hands wisely, for Manasseh is the first-born.

And Joseph seeth that his father setteth his right hand on the head of Ephraim, and it is wrong in his eyes, and he supporteth the hand of his father to turn it aside from off the head of Ephraim to the head of Manasseh;

and he blesseth them in that day, saying, `By thee doth Israel bless, saying, God set thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh;' and he setteth Ephraim before Manasseh.

and Joseph looketh on Ephraim's sons of the third generation ; sons also of Machir, son of Manasseh, have been born on the knees of Joseph.

The standard of the camp of Ephraim, by their hosts, is westward; and the prince of the sons of Ephraim is Elishama son of Ammihud;

All those numbered of the camp of Ephraim are a hundred thousand, and eight thousand, and a hundred, by their hosts; and they journey third.

On the seventh day, the prince of the sons of Ephraim, Elishama son of Ammihud; --

And the standard of the camp of the sons of Ephraim hath journeyed, by their hosts, and over its host is Elishama son of Ammihud.

These are sons of Ephraim by their families: of Shuthelah is the family of the Shuthelhite; of Becher the family of the Bachrite; of Tahan the family of the Tahanite.

and of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, the prince Kemuel son of Shiphtan;

His honour is a firstling of his ox, And his horns are horns of a reem; By them peoples he doth push together To the ends of earth; And they are the myriads of Ephraim, And they are the thousands of Manasseh.

and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah unto the further sea,
