Genesis Chapter 48 - Jacob's Blessing of Ephraim and Manasseh

Genesis 48 shows Jacob on his deathbed calling Joseph and blessing his two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, adopting them as his own and intentionally placing his right hand on the younger, Ephraim, to confer the greater blessing.

Jacob recalls God’s covenant, prophesies the future growth of their descendants, reassures Joseph of a return to Canaan, and grants Joseph a special portion in Shechem.
