¹ 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.

² And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.

³ And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,

⁴ 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.

⁵ 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.

⁶ And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.

⁷ 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 come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem.

⁸ And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?

⁹ 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.

¹⁰ 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.

¹¹ And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath showed me also thy seed.

¹² And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.

¹³ 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.

¹⁴ 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.

¹⁵ 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,

¹⁶ 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.

¹⁷ 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.

¹⁸ And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.

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.

²¹ And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.

²² 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.

¹ And it came to pass after ^H310 these things, ^H1697 that one told ^H559 Joseph, ^H3130 Behold, thy father ^H1 is sick: ^H2470 and he took ^H3947 with him his two ^H8147 sons, ^H1121 Manasseh ^H4519 and Ephraim. ^H669

² And one told ^H5046 Jacob, ^H3290 and said, ^H559 Behold, thy son ^H1121 Joseph ^H3130 cometh ^H935 unto thee: and Israel ^H3478 strengthened ^H2388 himself, and sat ^H3427 upon the bed. ^H4296

³ And Jacob ^H3290 said ^H559 unto Joseph, ^H3130 God ^H410 Almighty ^H7706 appeared ^H7200 unto me at Luz ^H3870 in the land ^H776 of Canaan, ^H3667 and blessed ^H1288 me,

⁴ And said ^H559 unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, ^H6509 and multiply ^H7235 thee, and I will make ^H5414 of thee a multitude ^H6951 of people; ^H5971 and will give ^H5414 this land ^H776 to thy seed ^H2233 after thee ^H310 for an everlasting ^H5769 possession. ^H272

⁵ And now thy two ^H8147 sons, ^H1121 Ephraim ^H669 and Manasseh, ^H4519 which were born ^H3205 unto thee in the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714 before ^H5704 I came ^H935 unto thee into Egypt, ^H4714 are mine; as Reuben ^H7205 and Simeon, ^H8095 they shall be mine.

⁶ And thy issue, ^H4138 which thou begettest ^H3205 after ^H310 them, shall be thine, and shall be called ^H7121 after ^H5921 the name ^H8034 of their brethren ^H251 in their inheritance. ^H5159

⁷ And as for me, when I came ^H935 from Padan, ^H6307 Rachel ^H7354 died ^H4191 by me in the land ^H776 of Canaan ^H3667 in the way, ^H1870 when ^H5750 yet there was but a little ^H3530 way ^H776 to come ^H935 unto Ephrath: ^H672 and I buried her ^H6912 there in the way ^H1870 of Ephrath; ^H672 the same is Bethlehem. ^H1035

⁸ And Israel ^H3478 beheld ^H7200 Joseph's ^H3130 sons, ^H1121 and said, ^H559 Who are these?

⁹ And Joseph ^H3130 said ^H559 unto his father, ^H1 They are my sons, ^H1121 whom God ^H430 hath given ^H5414 me in this place. And he said, ^H559 Bring them, ^H3947 I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless ^H1288 them.

¹⁰ Now the eyes ^H5869 of Israel ^H3478 were dim ^H3513 for age, ^H2207 so that he could ^H3201 not see. ^H7200 And he brought them near ^H5066 unto him; and he kissed ^H5401 them, and embraced ^H2263 them.

¹¹ And Israel ^H3478 said ^H559 unto Joseph, ^H3130 I had not thought ^H6419 to see ^H7200 thy face: ^H6440 and, lo, God ^H430 hath shewed ^H7200 me also thy seed. ^H2233

¹² And Joseph ^H3130 brought them out ^H3318 from between ^H5973 his knees, ^H1290 and he bowed ^H7812 himself with his face ^H639 to the earth. ^H776

¹³ And Joseph ^H3130 took ^H3947 them both, ^H8147 Ephraim ^H669 in his right hand ^H3225 toward Israel's ^H3478 left hand, ^H8040 and Manasseh ^H4519 in his left hand ^H8040 toward Israel's ^H3478 right hand, ^H3225 and brought them near ^H5066 unto him.

¹⁴ And Israel ^H3478 stretched out ^H7971 his right hand, ^H3225 and laid ^H7896 it upon Ephraim's ^H669 head, ^H7218 who was the younger, ^H6810 and his left hand ^H8040 upon Manasseh's ^H4519 head, ^H7218 guiding ^H7919 his hands ^H3027 wittingly; ^H7919 for Manasseh ^H4519 was the firstborn. ^H1060

¹⁵ And he blessed ^H1288 Joseph, ^H3130 and said, ^H559 God, ^H430 before ^H6440 whom my fathers ^H1 Abraham ^H85 and Isaac ^H3327 did walk, ^H1980 the God ^H430 which fed ^H7462 me all my life long ^H5750 unto this day, ^H3117

¹⁶ The Angel ^H4397 which redeemed ^H1350 me from all evil, ^H7451 bless ^H1288 the lads; ^H5288 and let my name ^H8034 be named ^H7121 on them, and the name ^H8034 of my fathers ^H1 Abraham ^H85 and Isaac; ^H3327 and let them grow ^H1711 into a multitude ^H7230 in the midst ^H7130 of the earth. ^H776

¹⁷ And when Joseph ^H3130 saw ^H7200 that his father ^H1 laid ^H7896 his right ^H3225 hand ^H3027 upon the head ^H7218 of Ephraim, ^H669 it displeased ^{H3415 H5869} him: and he held up ^H8551 his father's ^H1 hand, ^H3027 to remove ^H5493 it from Ephraim's ^H669 head ^H7218 unto Manasseh's ^H4519 head. ^H7218

¹⁸ And Joseph ^H3130 said ^H559 unto his father, ^H1 Not so, my father: ^H1 for this is the firstborn; ^H1060 put ^H7760 thy right hand ^H3225 upon his head. ^H7218

¹⁹ And his father ^H1 refused, ^H3985 and said, ^H559 I know ^H3045 it, my son, ^H1121 I know ^H3045 it: he also shall become a people, ^H5971 and he also shall be great: ^H1431 but truly ^H199 his younger ^H6996 brother ^H251 shall be greater ^H1431 than he, and his seed ^H2233 shall become a multitude ^H4393 of nations. ^H1471

²⁰ And he blessed ^H1288 them that day, ^H3117 saying, ^H559 In thee shall Israel ^H3478 bless, ^H1288 saying, ^H559 God ^H430 make ^H7760 thee as Ephraim ^H669 and as Manasseh: ^H4519 and he set ^H7760 Ephraim ^H669 before ^H6440 Manasseh. ^H4519

²¹ And Israel ^H3478 said ^H559 unto Joseph, ^H3130 Behold, I die: ^H4191 but God ^H430 shall be with you, and bring you again ^H7725 unto the land ^H776 of your fathers. ^H1

²² Moreover I have given ^H5414 to thee one ^H259 portion ^H7926 above thy brethren, ^H251 which I took ^H3947 out of the hand ^H3027 of the Amorite ^H567 with my sword ^H2719 and with my bow. ^H7198

¹ And it came to pass after these things, that one said to Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.

² And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.

³ And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,

⁴ and said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a company of peoples, and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.

⁵ And now thy two sons, who were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh, even as Reuben and Simeon, shall be mine.

⁶ And thy issue, that thou begettest after them, shall be thine; they shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.

⁷ And as for me, when I came from Paddan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when there was still some distance to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way to Ephrath (the same is Beth-lehem).

⁸ And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?

⁹ And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me here. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them.

¹⁰ 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.

¹¹ And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath let me see thy seed also.

¹² And Joseph brought them out from between his knees; and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.

¹³ 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.

¹⁴ 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 first-born.

¹⁵ And he blessed Joseph, and said, The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God who hath fed me all my life long unto this day,

¹⁶ the angel who hath 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.

¹⁷ 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.

¹⁸ And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father; for this is the first-born; put thy right hand upon his head.

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: howbeit 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 will Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.

²¹ And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God will be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.

²² 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.

---

¹ And it cometh to pass, after these things, that `one' saith to Joseph, `Lo, thy father is sick;' and he taketh his two sons with him, Manasseh and Ephraim.

² And `one' declareth to Jacob, and saith, `Lo, thy son Joseph is coming unto thee;' and Israel doth strengthen himself, and sit upon the bed.

³ And Jacob saith unto Joseph, `God Almighty hath appeared unto me, in Luz, in the land of Canaan, and blesseth me,

⁴ and saith unto me, Lo, I am making thee fruitful, and have multiplied thee, and given thee for an assembly of peoples, and given this land to thy seed after thee, a possession age-during.

⁵ `And now, thy two sons, who are born to thee in the land of Egypt, before my coming unto thee to Egypt, mine they `are'; Ephraim and Manasseh, as Reuben and Simeon they are mine;

⁶ and thy family which thou hast begotten after them are thine; by the name of their brethren they are called in their inheritance.

⁷ `And I -- in my coming in from Padan-`Aram' Rachel hath died by me in the land of Canaan, in the way, while yet a kibrath of land to enter Ephrata, and I bury her there in the way of Ephrata, which `is' Bethlehem.'

⁸ And Israel seeth the sons of Joseph, and saith, `Who `are' these?'

⁹ and Joseph saith unto his father, `They `are' my sons, whom God hath given to me in this `place';' and he saith, `Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I bless them.'

¹⁰ And the eyes of Israel have been heavy from age, he is unable to see; and he bringeth them nigh unto him, and he kisseth them, and cleaveth to them;

¹¹ and Israel saith unto Joseph, `To see thy face I had not thought, and lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.'

¹² And Joseph bringeth them out from between his knees, and boweth himself on his face to the earth;

¹³ and Joseph taketh them both, Ephraim in his right hand towards Israel's left, and Manasseh in his left towards Israel's right, and bringeth `them' nigh to him.

¹⁴ And Israel putteth out his right hand, and placeth `it' upon the head of Ephraim, who `is' the younger, and his left hand upon the head of Manasseh; he hath guided his hands wisely, for Manasseh `is' the first-born.

¹⁵ And he blesseth Joseph, and saith, `God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked habitually: God who is feeding me from my being unto this day:

¹⁶ the Messenger who is redeeming me from all evil doth bless the youths, and my name is called upon them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and they increase into a multitude in the midst of the land.'

¹⁷ And Joseph seeth that his father setteth his right hand on the head of Ephraim, and it is wrong in his eyes, and he supporteth the hand of his father to turn it aside from off the head of Ephraim to the head of Manasseh;

¹⁸ and Joseph saith unto his father, `Not so, my father, for this `is' the first-born; set thy right hand on his head.'

¹⁹ And his father refuseth, and saith, `I have known, my son, I have known; he also becometh a people, and he also is great, and yet, his young brother is greater than he, and his seed is the fulness of the nations;'

²⁰ and he blesseth them in that day, saying, `By thee doth Israel bless, saying, God set thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh;' and he setteth Ephraim before Manasseh.

²¹ And Israel saith unto Joseph, `Lo, I am dying, and God hath been with you, and hath brought you back unto the land of your fathers;

²² and I -- I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I have taken out of the hand of the Amorite by my sword and by my bow.'

¹ 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.

² And one told Jacob and said, Behold, thy son Joseph is coming to thee. And Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.

³ And Jacob said to Joseph, The Almighty ùGod appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,

⁴ and he said to me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a company of peoples; and will give this land to thy seed after thee [for] an everlasting possession.

⁵ And now thy two sons, who were born to thee in the land of Egypt before I came to thee into Egypt, shall be mine: Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine, as Reuben and Simeon.

⁶ And thy family which thou hast begotten after them shall be thine: they shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.

⁷ And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was yet a certain distance to come to Ephrath; and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath, that is, Bethlehem.

⁸ And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?

⁹ And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God has given me here. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, to me, that I may bless them.

¹⁰ But the eyes of Israel were heavy from age: he could not see. And he brought them nearer to him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.

¹¹ And Israel said to Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face; and behold, God has let me see also thy seed.

¹² And Joseph brought them out from his knees, and bowed down with his face to the earth.

¹³ 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 to him.

¹⁴ But Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid [it] on Ephraim's head -- now he was the younger -- and his left hand on Manasseh's head; guiding his hands intelligently, for Manasseh was the firstborn.

¹⁵ And he blessed Joseph, and said, The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God that shepherded me all my life long to this day,

¹⁶ the Angel that redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named upon them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the land!

¹⁷ When Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it was evil in his eyes; and he took hold of his father's hand to remove it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head.

¹⁸ And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father, for this is the firstborn: put thy right hand on his head.

¹⁹ But his father refused and said, I know, my son, I know: he also will become a people, and he also will be great; but truly his younger brother will be greater than he; and his seed will become the fulness of nations.

²⁰ And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee will Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and Manasseh! And he set Ephraim before Manasseh.

²¹ And Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I die; and God will be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers.

²² And *I* have given to thee one tract [of land] above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.

---

¹ It happened after these things, that someone said to Joseph, "Behold, your father is sick." He took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.

² Someone told Jacob, and said, "Behold, your son Joseph comes to you," and Israel strengthened himself, and sat on the bed.

³ Jacob said to Joseph, "God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,

⁴ and said to me, 'Behold, I will make you fruitful, and multiply you, and I will make of you a company of peoples, and will give this land to your seed after you for an everlasting possession.'

⁵ Now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you into Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh, even as Reuben and Simeon, will be mine.

⁶ Your issue, who you become the father of after them, will be yours. They will be called after the name of their brothers in their inheritance.

⁷ As for me, when I came from Paddan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when there was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and I buried her there in the way to Ephrath (the same is Bethlehem)."

⁸ Israel saw Joseph's sons, and said, "Who are these?"

⁹ Joseph said to his father, "They are my sons, whom God has given me here." He said, "Please bring them to me, and I will bless them."

¹⁰ Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he couldn't see. He brought them near to him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.

¹¹ Israel said to Joseph, "I didn't think I would see your face, and, behold, God has let me see your seed also."

¹² Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.

¹³ 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 to him.

¹⁴ Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it on Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh's head, guiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn.

¹⁵ He blessed Joseph, and said, "The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God who has fed me all my life long to this day,

¹⁶ the angel who has 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. Let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth."

¹⁷ When Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him. He held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head.

¹⁸ Joseph said to his father, "Not so, my father; for this is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head."

¹⁹ His father refused, and said, "I know, my son, I know. He also will become a people, and he also will be great. However, his younger brother will be greater than he, and his seed will become a multitude of nations."

²⁰ He blessed them that day, saying, "In you will Israel bless, saying, 'God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh'" He set Ephraim before Manasseh.

²¹ Israel said to Joseph, "Behold, I am dying, but God will be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers.

²² Moreover I have given to you one portion above your brothers, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow."

---

¹ Now after these things, word came to Joseph that his father was ill: and he took with him his sons Manasseh and Ephraim.

² And when they said to Jacob, Your son Joseph is coming to see you: then Israel, getting all his strength together, had himself lifted up in his bed.

³ And Jacob said to Joseph, God, the Ruler of all, came to me in a vision at Luz in the land of Canaan, and gave me his blessing,

⁴ And said to me, Truly, I will make you fertile and give you increase and will make of you a great family of nations: and I will give this land to your seed after you to be their heritage for ever.

⁵ And now your two sons who came to birth in Egypt before I came to you here, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh will be mine, in the same way as Reuben and Simeon are.

⁶ And any other offspring which you have after them, will be yours, and will be named after their brothers in their heritage.

⁷ And as for me, when I came from Paddan, death overtook Rachel on the way, when we were still some distance from Ephrath; and I put her to rest there on the road to Ephrath, which is Beth-lehem.

⁸ Then Israel, looking at Joseph's sons, said, Who are these?

⁹ And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God has given me in this land. And he said, Let them come near me, and I will give them a blessing.

¹⁰ Now because Israel was old, his eyes were no longer clear, and he was not able to see. So he made them come near to him, and he gave them a kiss, folding them in his arms.

¹¹ And Israel said to Joseph, I had no hope of seeing your face again, but God in his mercy has let me see you and your children.

¹² Then Joseph took them from between his knees, and went down on his face to the earth.

¹³ Then taking Ephraim with his right hand, Joseph put him at Israel's left side, and with his left hand he put Manasseh at Israel's right side, placing them near him.

¹⁴ And Israel, stretching out his right hand, put it on the head of Ephraim, the younger, and his left hand on the head of Manasseh, crossing his hands on purpose, for Manasseh was the older.

¹⁵ And he gave Joseph a blessing, saying, May the God to whom my fathers, Abraham and Isaac, gave worship, the God who has taken care of me all my life till this day,

¹⁶ The angel who has been my saviour from all evil, send his blessing on these children: and let my name and the name of my fathers, Abraham and Isaac, be given to them; and let them become a great nation in the earth.

¹⁷ Now when Joseph saw that his father had put his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it did not seem right to him; and lifting his father's hand he would have put it on the head of Manasseh.

¹⁸ And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father, for this is the older; put your right hand on his head.

¹⁹ But his father would not, saying, I am doing it on purpose, my son; he will certainly become a nation and a great one; but his younger brother will be greater than he, and his seed will become a great family of nations.

²⁰ So he gave them his blessing that day, saying, You will be the sign of blessing in Israel, for they will say, May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh; and he put Ephraim before Manasseh.

²¹ Then Israel said to Joseph, Now my death is near; but God will be with you, guiding you back to the land of your fathers.

²² And I have given you more than your brothers, even Shechem as your heritage, which I took from the Amorites with my sword and my bow.
