Genesis 48:6-9 English Standard Version (ESV)

6. And the children that you fathered after them shall be yours. They shall be called by the name of their brothers in their inheritance.

7. As for me, when I came from Paddan, to my sorrow Rachel died in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath, and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).”

8. When Israel saw Joseph’s sons, he said, “Who are these?”

9. Joseph said to his father, “They are my sons, whom God has given me here.” And he said, “Bring them to me, please, that I may bless them.”
