Genesis 48:19 in Context — Genesis 48
17 Joseph vit avec déplaisir que son père posait sa main droite sur la tête d’Éphraïm; il saisit la main de son père, pour la détourner de dessus la tête d’Éphraïm, et la diriger sur celle de Manassé.
18 Et Joseph dit à son père: Pas ainsi, mon père, car celui-ci est le premier-né; pose ta main droite sur sa tête.
19 Son père refusa, et dit: Je le sais, mon fils, je le sais; lui aussi deviendra un peuple, lui aussi sera grand; mais son frère cadet sera plus grand que lui, et sa postérité deviendra une multitude de nations.
20 Il les bénit ce jour-là, et dit: C’est par toi qu’Israël bénira, en disant: Que Dieu te traite comme Éphraïm et comme Manassé! Et il mit Éphraïm avant Manassé.
21 Israël dit à Joseph: Voici, je vais mourir! Mais Dieu sera avec vous, et il vous fera retourner dans le pays de vos pères.
