Genesis 48:9 in Context — Genesis 48
7 A mon retour de Paddan, Rachel mourut en route auprès de moi, dans le pays de Canaan, à quelque distance d’Éphrata; et c’est là que je l’ai enterrée, sur le chemin d’Éphrata, qui est Bethléhem.
8 Israël regarda les fils de Joseph, et dit: Qui sont ceux-ci?
9 Joseph répondit à son père: Ce sont mes fils, que Dieu m’a donnés ici. Israël dit: Fais-les, je te prie, approcher de moi, pour que je les bénisse.
10 Les yeux d’Israël étaient appesantis par la vieillesse; il ne pouvait plus voir. Joseph les fit approcher de lui; et Israël leur donna un baiser, et les embrassa.
11 Israël dit à Joseph: Je ne pensais pas revoir ton visage, et voici que Dieu me fait voir même ta postérité.
