evil,º
blessººº
the lads;º

sawºº
thatº
his fatherº
laidºº
his rightº
handº
uponº
the headº

Yôsëf
יוֹסֵףº
saidºº
untoº

putºº
thy right handº
uponº
his head.º |
 48:18

refused,ºº
and said,ºº
I knowºº
[it], my son,º
I knowºº
[it]: heº
alsoº
shall becomeº
a people,º
and heº
alsoº
shall be great:ºº
but trulyº
his youngerº
brotherº
shall be greaterºº
thanº
he, and his seedº
shall becomeº
a multitudeº
of nations.º |
 48:19
