Genesis 48:18-22

“Not that way,” Joseph said to his father, “Here, father, put your right hand on the firstborn’s head.” But his father refused and said, “I know, my son, I know. Manasseh’s descendants will also multiply and become a great people. His younger brother will become even greater than he, and his tribe will one day give rise to many nations.” So Jacob blessed them that day, saying, “Israel will use your names when they pronounce blessings! They will say, ‘May God make you like Ephraim and like Manasseh!’ ” So the crossing of his arms during Jacob’s blessing put Ephraim ahead of Manasseh. Then Israel said to Joseph, “Son, I will die soon, but God’s presence will go with you, and one day, he will take you back to the land of your ancestors. I give you one mountain slope more than your brothers, the mountain slope of Shechem, the fertile region I took from the Amorites with my own sword and my own bow.”
