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.
