    1After these things, someone said to Joseph, “Behold, your father is sick.” He took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.

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

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

    4and 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 offspring after you for an everlasting possession.’

    5Now 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.

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

    7As for me, when I came from Paddan, Rachel died beside me in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (also called Bethlehem).”

    8Israel saw Joseph’s sons, and said, “Who are these?”

    9Joseph 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.”

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

    11Israel said to Joseph, “I didn’t think I would see your face, and behold, God has let me see your offspring also.”

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

    1A Song of Ascents. LORD, remember David and all his affliction,

    2how he swore to the LORD, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

    3“Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;

    4I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,

    5until I find out a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

    6Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar.

    7“We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.”

    8Arise, LORD, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength.

    9Let your priests be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!

    10For your servant David’s sake, don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.

    11The LORD has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.

    12If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forever more.”

    13For the LORD has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.

    14“This is my resting place forever. I will live here, for I have desired it.

    15I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.

    16I will also clothe her priests with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.

    17I will make the horn of David to bud there. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.

    18I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will shine.”

    9Boaz said to the elders and to all the people, “You are witnesses today, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, from the hand of Naomi.

    10Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, I have purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his brothers and from the gate of his place. You are witnesses today.”

    11All the people who were in the gate, and the elders, said, “We are witnesses. May the LORD make the woman who has come into your house like Rachel and like Leah, which both built the house of Israel; and treat you worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem.

    12Let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the offspring which the LORD will give you by this young woman.”
