New Century Version

Genesis 48:20-22 New Century Version (NCV)

20. So Israel blessed them that day and said,“When a blessing is given in Israel, they will say:‘May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh.’ ”In this way he made Ephraim greater than Manasseh.

21. Then Israel said to Joseph, “Look at me; I am about to die. But God will be with you and will take you back to the land of your fathers.

22. I have given you something that I did not give your brothers—the land of Shechem that I took from the Amorite people with my sword and my bow.”
