3 And Jacob saith unto Joseph, 'God Almighty hath appeared unto me, in Luz, in the land of Canaan, and blesseth me,
4 and saith unto me, Lo, I am making thee fruitful, and have multiplied thee, and given thee for an assembly of peoples, and given this land to thy seed after thee, a possession age-during.
5 'And now, thy two sons, who are born to thee in the land of Egypt, before my coming unto thee to Egypt, mine they 'are'; Ephraim and Manasseh, as Reuben and Simeon they are mine;
6 and thy family which thou hast begotten after them are thine; by the name of their brethren they are called in their inheritance.
7 'And I -- in my coming in from Padan-'Aram' Rachel hath died by me in the land of Canaan, in the way, while yet a kibrath of land to enter Ephrata, and I bury her there in the way of Ephrata, which 'is' Bethlehem.'
