Genesis 48:17 in Context — Genesis 48
15 E abençoou a José, e disse: O Deus em cuja presença andaram meus pais Abraão e Isaque, o Deus que me mantém desde que eu sou até hoje,
16 O Anjo que me liberta de todo mal abençoe a estes moços: e meu nome seja chamado neles, e o nome de meus pais Abraão e Isaque: e multipliquem em grande maneira em meio da terra.
17 Então vendo José que seu pai punha a direita sobre a cabeça de Efraim, causou-lhe isto desgosto; e pegou a mão de seu pai, para mudá-la de sobre a cabeça de Efraim à cabeça de Manassés.
18 E disse José a seu pai: Não assim, meu pai, porque este é o primogênito; põe tua mão direita sobre sua cabeça.
19 Mas seu pai não quis, e disse: Eu sei, meu filho, eu sei: também ele virá a ser um povo, e será também acrescentado; porém seu irmão mais novo será maior que ele, e sua descendência será plenitude de povos.
