Genesis 48:10-12

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁰ Now the eyes of Israel were dim with age, so that he could not see. So Joseph brought them near him; and he kissed them and embraced them. ¹¹ And Israel said to Joseph, “I had not thought to see your face; and lo, God has let me see your children also.” ¹² Then Joseph removed them from his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
