Context
5“Sasa basi, wanao wawili waliozaliwa kwako huku Misri kabla sijaja hapa kwako watahesabiwa kuwa ni wangu; Efraimu na Manase watakuwa wangu, kama vile Reubeni na Simeoni walivyo wangu. 6Lakini watoto utakaowazaa baada yao watakuwa wako. Katika nchi watakayoirithi, watatambuliwa kwa jina la ndugu zao. 7Nilipokuwa ninarudi kutoka Padani, katika huzuni yangu Raheli alifariki katika nchi ya Kanaani tulipokuwa tungali tukisafiri, tukiwa karibu kufika Efrathi. Kwa hiyo nilimzika huko, kando ya njia iendayo Efrathi” (yaani Bethlehemu). 8Wakati Israeli alipowaona wana wa Yosefu, akauliza, “Hawa ni nani?” 9Yosefu akamjibu baba yake, “Hawa ni wana ambao Mungu amenipa nikiwa huku.”
Ndipo Israeli akasema, “Walete kwangu ili niwabariki.”
