And Jacob blessed each one of Joseph’s sons. Jacob did this while he was dying. He was leaning on his rod and worshiping God. Jacob did those things because he had faith.
Then Jacob said, “Make a vow to me.” And Joseph vowed to him that he would do this. Then Israel (Jacob) laid his head back down on the bed. [254]
Some time later, Joseph learned that his father was very sick. So Joseph took his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim and went to his father.
