Genesis 48:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 Then Jacob said unto Joseph, God [a]almighty appeared unto me at (A)Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
4 And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and will multiply thee, and will make a great number of people of thee, and will give this land unto thy seed after thee for an [b]everlasting possession.
5 ¶ And now thy (B)two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, which are born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came to thee into Egypt, shall be mine, as Reuben and Simeon are mine.
