Joseph's sons blessed by Jacob (Old Testament narrative)

Note: During Jacob's last moments, Joseph promised his father that he would bury him in Chanaan, and caused him to adopt his two sons, Manasses and Ephraim (xlvii, 25-xlviii). After his father's demise, Joseph had his body embalmed and buried with great pomp in the Cave of Machpelah (l, 1-14).
