¹ Now after these things, word came to Joseph that his father was ill: and he took with him his sons Manasseh and Ephraim.

⁵⁰ And before the time of need, Joseph had two sons, to whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera, priest of On, gave birth.

⁵¹ And to the first he gave the name Manasseh, for he said, God has taken away from me all memory of my hard life and of my father's house.

⁵² And to the second he gave the name Ephraim, for he said, God has given me fruit in the land of my sorrow.

²⁰ And Joseph had Manasseh and Ephraim in the land of Egypt, by Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera, priest of On.

²³ And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: and the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, came to birth on Joseph's knees.

¹⁶ And after this Job had a hundred and forty years of life, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.

⁶ May you see your children's children. Peace be on Israel.

³ So the sisters sent to him, saying, Lord, your dear friend is ill.
