it

upon Ephraim's

head,

upon

will go

for us?

For God,

an-other

seed

in-stead

of

Abel,

 

whom

Cain slew.

Now

therefore

be not

grieved,

 

nor angry

with

yourselves,

that ye

sold me hither:

 

for God

did

send me

before

you

to

preserve life.

++

 

Then said

I,

 

Here

 

am I;

 

send me.

+++

 

God,

 

before

fathers

Abraham

did walk,

 

the God

which fed

me

all

 

my

 

life long

 

unto

this day,

***

 

An he

said,

 

Wherefore

 

is it

that thou

dost

ask

after

my name?

.

++

The Angel

which

redeemed

me

from

all evil,

 

bless the lads;

my

name

 be

named

on them,

 

an the

name

of

my

fathers

Abraham

an Isaac;

 

an let

them

grow into

a multitude

in

the midst

of

the earth.

 

An when

Joseph

saw

that his father

laid his

right hand

upon the head

of

Ephraim,

 

it

displeased him:

 

an he

held up his father's hand,

 

to

remove

it

from

Ephraim's head

unto

Manasseh's head.

 

An Joseph

said

unto

his father,

 

Not so,

my father:

for

this is the firstborn;

 

put

thy

right hand upon

his head.

 

An his

father refused,

 

an said,

 

I

know it,

 

my son,

 

I

know it:

 

he also

 shall become

a

people,

 

an he

also

shall be great:

 

but truly

his younger brother

shall

be

greater than

he,

 

an his seed

shall become

a

multitude

of

nations.

 

An he blessed

them

that day,

 

saying,

In thee

shall Israel bless,

 

saying,

 

God make thee

as

Ephraim

an as Manasseth:

 

an he

set

Ephraim

before

Manasseh.

++

an

let them

have dominion

over the fish

of

the sea,

 

an over

the fowl

of

the air,

++

 

But

ask now

the beasts,

 

an they shall

teach

thee;

 

an the fowls

of the

air,

 

an they

shall tell thee:

***

 

an over

the cattle,

 

an over

all the earth,

 

an

over every

creeping thing

that

creepeth upon

the earth.

***

 

an they

shall call his name

Immanuel,

 

which being

interpreted

is,

 

God with us.
