Genesis 48:9-11

Common English Bible

⁹ Joseph told his father, “They’re my sons, whom God gave me here.”

Israel said, “Bring them to me and I will bless them.” ¹⁰ Because Israel’s eyesight had failed from old age and he wasn’t able to see, Joseph brought them close to him, and he kissed and embraced them.

¹¹ Israel said to Joseph, “I didn’t expect I’d see your face, but now God has shown me your children too.”
