But his father wouldn’t do it. He said,“ I know, my son. I know. He too will become a nation. He too will become great. But his younger brother will be greater than he is. His children after him will become a group of nations.”

But his father refused and said,“ I know, my son, I know. He also shall become a people, and he also shall be great. Nevertheless, his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his offspring shall become a multitude of nations.”

But his father refused.“ I know, my son; I know,” he replied.“ Manasseh will also become a great people, but his younger brother will become even greater. And his descendants will become a multitude of nations.”

以撒爱以扫，因为爱吃野味，而莉白加却爱雅各。

耶和华必使亚述王攻击的日子临到你、你的子民和你的父家；这是自从以法莲脱离犹大以来，未曾有过的日子。

在城门口的全体民众和长老们都说：“我们都是见证人！愿耶和华使进到你家的这女子像建立以色列家的瑞秋和莉亚两人那样！愿你在以法塔做大能的事，在伯利恒得名声！愿耶和华从这年轻女子赐你后裔，使你的家像塔玛尔给犹大所生的法勒斯的家那样！”

亚设支派中有一万二千人；拿弗他利支派中有一万二千人；玛拿西支派中有一万二千人；

以色列却伸出右手，按在次子以法莲的头上；又交叉着伸出左手，按在玛拿西的头上；实际上玛拿西才是长子。

至于以实玛利，我也听允你了，看哪，我也要祝福他！我要使他繁衍，大大增多。他将生十二个族长，我必使他成为一个大国。而我的约，我要与以撒确立。这以撒，就是撒拉要在明年所定的时期为你生的儿子。”

西布伦支派中有一万二千人；约瑟支派中有一万二千人；便雅悯支派中被盖上印的有一万二千人。
