Genesis 48:19-20

[19] And his father  refused,  and said,  I know  it, my son,  I know  it: he also shall become a people,  and he also shall be great:  but truly  his younger  brother  shall be greater  than he, and his seed  shall become a multitude  of nations.  [20] And he blessed  them that day,  saying,  In thee shall Israel  bless,  saying,  God  make  thee as Ephraim  and as Manasseh:  and he set  Ephraim  before  Manasseh.
