47：21至于百姓，约瑟叫他们，从埃及赦边直到埃及那边，都各归各城。
And as for the people； he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof。
47：22惟有祭司的地，约瑟没有买，因为祭司有从法老所得的常俸。他们吃法老所给的常俸，所以他们不卖自己的地。
Only the land of the priests bought he not； for the priests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh； and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them： wherefore they sold not their lands。
47：23约瑟对百姓说，我今日为法老买了你们和你们的地，看哪，这里有种子给你们，你们可以种地。
Then Joseph said unto the people； Behold； I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh： lo； here is seed for you； and ye shall sow the land。
47：24后来打粮食的时候，你们要把五分之一纳给法老，四分可以归你们作地里的种子，也作你们和你们家口孩童的食物。
And it shall e to pass in the increase； that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh； and four parts shall be your own； for seed of the field； and for your food； and for them of your households； and for food for your little ones。
47：25他们说，你救了我们的性命。但愿我们在我主眼前蒙恩，我们就作法老的仆人。
And they said； Thou hast saved our lives： let us find grace in the sight of my lord； and we will be Pharaoh's servants。
47：26于是约瑟为埃及地定下常例，直到今日，法老必得五分之一，惟独祭司的地不归法老。
And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day； that Pharaoh should have the fifth part； except the land of the priests only； which became not Pharaoh's。
47：27以色列人住在埃及的歌珊地。他们在那里置了产业，并且生育甚多。
And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt； in the country of Goshen； and they had possessions therein； and grew； and multiplied exceedingly。
47：28雅各住在埃及地十七年，雅各平生的年日是一百四十七岁。
And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years： so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years。
47：29以色列的死期临近了，他就叫了他儿子约瑟来，说，我若在你眼前蒙恩，请你把手放在我大腿底下，用慈爱和诚实待我，请你不要将我葬在埃及。
And the time drew nigh that Israel must die： and he called his son Joseph； and said unto him； If now I have found grace in thy sight； put； I pray thee； thy hand under my thigh； and deal kindly and truly with me； bury me not； I pray thee； in Egypt：
47：30我与我祖我父同睡的时候，你要将我带出埃及，葬在他们所葬的地方。约瑟说，我必遵着你的命而行。
But I will lie with my fathers； and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt； and bury me in their buryingplace。 And he said； I will do as thou hast said。
47：31雅各说，你要向我起誓。约瑟就向他起了誓，于是以色列在床头上（或作扶着杖头）敬拜神。
And he said； Swear unto me。 And he sware unto him。 And Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head。

48：1这事以后，有人告诉约瑟说，你的父亲病了。他就带着两个儿子玛拿西和以法莲同去。
And it came to pass after these things； that one told Joseph； Behold； thy father is sick： and he took with him his two sons； Manasseh and Ephraim。
48：2有人告诉雅各说，请看，你儿子约瑟到你这里来了。以色列就勉强在床上坐起来。
And one told Jacob； and said； Behold； thy son Joseph eth unto thee： and Israel strengthened himself； and sat upon the bed。
48：3雅各对约瑟说，全能的神曾在迦南地的路斯向我显现，赐福与我，
And Jacob said unto Joseph； God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan； and blessed me；
48：4对我说，我必使你生养众多，成为多民，又要把这地赐给你的后裔，永远为业。
And said unto me； Behold； I will make thee fruitful； and multiply thee； and I will make of thee a multitude of people； and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession。
48：5我未到埃及见你之先，你在埃及地所生的以法莲和玛拿西这两个儿子是我的，正如流便和西缅是我的一样。
And now thy two sons； Ephraim and Manasseh； which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt； are mine； as Reuben and Simeon； they shall be mine。
48：6你在他们以后所生的就是你的，他们可以归于他们弟兄的名下得产业。
And thy issue； which thou begettest after them； shall be thine； and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance。
48：7至于我，我从巴旦来的时候，拉结死在我眼前，在迦南地的路上，离以法他还有一段路程，我就把她葬在以法他的路上。以法他就是伯利恒。
And as for me； when I came from Padan； Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way； when yet there was but a little way to e unto Ephrath： and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath； the same is Bethlehem。
48：8以色列看见约瑟的两个儿子，就说，这是谁，
And Israel beheld Joseph's sons； and said； Who are these？
48：9约瑟对他父亲说，这是神在这里赐给我的儿子。以色列说，请你领他们到我跟前，我要给他们祝福。
And Joseph said unto his father； They are my sons； whom God hath given me in this place。 And he said； Bring them； I pray thee； unto me； and I will bless them。
48：10以色列年纪老迈，眼睛昏花，不能看见。约瑟领他们到他跟前，他就和他们亲嘴，抱着他们。
Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age； so that he could not see。 And he brought them near unto him； and he kissed them； and embraced them。
48：11以色列对约瑟说，我想不到得见你的面，不料，神又使我得见你的儿子。
And Israel said unto Joseph； I had not thought to see thy face： and； lo； God hath shewed me also thy seed。
48：12约瑟把两个儿子从以色列两膝中领出来，自己就脸伏于地下拜。
And Joseph brought them out from between his knees； and he bowed himself with his face to the earth。
48：13随后，约瑟又拉着他们两个，以法莲在他的右手里，对着以色列的左手，玛拿西在他的左手里，对着以色列的右手，领他们到以色列的跟前。
And Joseph took them both； Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand； and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand； and brought them near unto him。
48：14以色列伸出右手来，按在以法莲的头上，以法莲乃是次子。又剪搭过左手来，按在玛拿西的头上，玛拿西原是长子。
And Israel stretched out his right hand； and laid it upon Ephraim's head； who was the younger； and his left hand upon Manasseh's head； guiding his hands wittingly； for Manasseh was the firstborn。
48：15他就给约瑟祝福说，愿我祖亚伯拉罕和我父以撒所事奉的神，就是一生牧养我直到今日的神，
And he blessed Joseph； and said； God； before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk； the God which fed me all my life long unto this day；
48：16救赎我脱离一切患难的那使者，赐福与这两个童子。愿他们归在我的名下和我祖亚伯拉罕，我父以撒的名下。又愿他们在世界中生养众多。
The Angel which redeemed me from all evil； bless the lads； and let my name be named on them； and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac； and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth。
48：17约瑟见他父亲把右手按在以法莲的头上，就不喜悦，便提起他父亲的手，要从以法莲的头上挪到玛拿西的头上。
And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim； it displeased him： and he held up his father's hand； to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head。
48：18约瑟对他父亲说，我父，不是这样。这本是长子，求你把右手按在他的头上。
And Joseph said unto his father； Not so； my father： for this is the firstborn； put thy right hand upon his head。
48：19他父亲不从，说，我知道，我儿，我知道。他也必成为一族，也必昌大。只是他的兄弟将来比他还大。他兄弟的后裔要成为多族。
And his father refused； and said； I know it； my son； I know it： he also shall bee a people； and he also shall be great： but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he； and his seed shall bee a multitude of nations。
48：20当日就给他们祝福说，以色列人要指着你们祝福说，愿神使你如以法莲，玛拿西一样。于是立以法莲在玛拿西以上。
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。
48：21以色列又对约瑟说，我要死了，但神必与你们同在，领你们回到你们列祖之地。
And Israel said unto Joseph； Behold； I die： but God shall be with you； and bring you again unto the land of your fathers。
48：22并且我从前用弓用刀从亚摩利人手下夺的那块地，我都赐给你，使你比众弟兄多得一分。
Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren； which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow。

49：1雅各叫了他的儿子们来，说，你们都来聚集，我好把你们日后必遇的事告诉你们。
And Jacob called unto his sons； and said； Gather yourselves together； that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days。
49：2雅各的儿子们，你们要聚集而听，要听你们父亲以色列的话。
Gather yourselves together； and hear； ye sons of Jacob； and hearken unto Israel your father。
49：3流便哪，你是我的长子，是我力量强壮的时候生的，本当大有尊荣，权力超众。
Reuben； thou art my firstborn； my might； and the beginning of my strength； the excellency of dignity； and the excellency of power：
49：4但你放纵情欲，滚沸如水，必不得居首位。因为你上了你父亲的床，污秽了我的榻。
Unstable as water； thou shalt not excel； because thou wentest up to thy father's bed； then defiledst thou it： he went up to my couch。
49：5西缅和利未是弟兄。他们的刀剑是残忍的器具。
Simeon and Levi are brethren； instruments of cruelty are in their habitations。
49：6我的灵阿，不要与他们同谋。我的心哪，不要与他们联络。因为他们趁怒杀害人命，任意砍断牛腿大筋。
O my soul； e not thou into their secret； unto their assembly； mine honour； be not thou united： for
