Genesis 48:9 Context
7And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan, in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come vnto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath, the same is Bethlehem. 8And Israel behelde Iosephs sonnes, and said, Who are these? 9And Ioseph said vnto his father, They are my sonnes, whom God hath giuen me in this place: and he said, Bring them, I pray thee, vnto me, and I will blesse them. 10(Now the eyes of Israel were dimme for age, so that he could not see,) and hee brought them neere vnto him, and he kissed them, and imbraced them. 11And Israel said vnto Ioseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and loe, God hath shewed me also thy seed.
