Genesis 48:4 in Context — Genesis 48
2 On avertit Jacob, et on lui dit: Voici ton fils Joseph qui vient vers toi. Et Israël rassembla ses forces, et s’assit sur son lit.
3 Jacob dit à Joseph: Le Dieu tout-puissant m’est apparu à Luz, dans le pays de Canaan, et il m’a béni.
4 Il m’a dit: Je te rendrai fécond, je te multiplierai, et je ferai de toi une multitude de peuples; je donnerai ce pays à ta postérité après toi, pour qu’elle le possède à toujours.
5 Maintenant, les deux fils qui te sont nés au pays d’Égypte, avant mon arrivée vers toi en Égypte, seront à moi; Éphraïm et Manassé seront à moi, comme Ruben et Siméon.
6 Mais les enfants que tu as engendrés après eux seront à toi; ils seront appelés du nom de leurs frères dans leur héritage.
