9. “Yes,” Joseph told him, “these are the sons God has given me here in Egypt.”And Jacob said, “Bring them closer to me, so I can bless them.”
10. Jacob was half blind because of his age and could hardly see. So Joseph brought the boys close to him, and Jacob kissed and embraced them.
11. Then Jacob said to Joseph, “I never thought I would see your face again, but now God has let me see your children, too!”
12. Joseph moved the boys, who were at their grandfather’s knees, and he bowed with his face to the ground.
