Genesis 48:1-4 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. After these things were done, it was reported to Joseph that his father was sick. And taking his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim, he went directly to him.

2. And it was told to the old man, "Behold, your son Joseph is coming to you." And being strengthened, he sat up in bed.

3. And when he had entered to him, he said: "Almighty God appeared to me at Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, and he blessed me.

4. And he said: 'I will increase and multiply you, and I will make you influential among the people. And I will give this land to you, and to your offspring after you, as an everlasting possession.'
