UGenesise 48:1-6

Kwathi emva kwalezi zinto omunye wathi kuJosefa: Bheka, uyihlo uyagula; wathatha amadodana akhe amabili, oManase no-Efrayimi, kanye naye. UJakobe watshelwa, kwathiwa: “Bheka, indodana yakho uJosefa iyeza kuwe; u-Israyeli wamqinisa, wahlala embhedeni.” UJakobe wasesithi kuJosefa: UNkulunkulu uSomandla wabonakala kimi eLusu elizweni leKhanani, wangibusisa. Futhi yathi kimi: Bheka, ngizokwenza uzale futhi ngikwandise, futhi ngizokwenza ube uquqaba lwezizwe; leli zwe ngiyakulinika inzalo yakho emva kwakho libe yifa kuze kube phakade. Manje amadodana akho amabili, u-Efrayimi noManase, owazalelwa wona ezweni laseGibithe ngingakafiki kuwe eGibithe, angawami; njengoRubeni noSimeyoni bayakuba ngabami. Futhi inzalo yakho oyoyizala ngemva kwabo iyoba ngeyakho futhi ibizwe ngegama labafowabo efeni layo.
