New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²⁰So he blessed them that day, saying,

‘By you^[a] Israel will invoke blessings, saying,
“God make you^[b] like Ephraim and like Manasseh.”’

So he put Ephraim ahead of Manasseh. ²¹Then Israel said to Joseph, ‘I am about to die, but God will be with you and will bring you again to the land of your ancestors. ²²I now give to you one portion^[c] more than to your brothers, the portion^[d] that I took from the hand of the Amorites with my sword and with my bow.’
