When Israel saw Joseph’s sons, he asked, “Who are these?”
Now Israel’s eyes were dim from age; he could not see well. When Joseph brought his sons close to him, he kissed and embraced them.
“They are my sons,” Joseph answered his father, “whom God has given me here.” “Bring them to me,” said his father, “that I may bless them.”
Seek the Lord, that you may live, lest he flare up against the house of Joseph like a fire that shall consume the house of Israel, with no one to quench it.
