Genesis 48:12-22 and Matthew 28:16-20 (NIV)

Genesis 48:12-22
Manasseh and Ephraim

12  Then Joseph removed them from Israel’s knees and bowed down with his face to the ground. 
13  And Joseph took both of them, Ephraim on his right toward Israel’s left hand and Manasseh on his left toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them close to him.
14  But Israel reached out his right hand and put it on Ephraim’s head, though he was the younger, and crossing his arms, he put his left hand on Manasseh’s head, even though Manasseh was the firstborn.
¹⁵ Then he blessed Joseph and said, “May the God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked faithfully, the God who has been my shepherd all my life to this day,

16  the Angel who has delivered me from all harm —may he bless these boys.  May they be called by my name and the names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac, and may they increase greatly on the earth.”

17  When Joseph saw his father placing his right hand on Ephraim’s head he was displeased; so he took hold of his father’s hand to move it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head. 

18  Joseph said to him, “No, my father, this one is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head.”

19  But his father refused and said, “I know, my son, I know. He too will become a people, and he too will become great. Nevertheless, his younger brother will be greater than he, and his descendants will become a group of nations. ”
20  He blessed them that day and said, “In your name will Israel pronounce this blessing:  ‘May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh. ’”  So he put Ephraim ahead of Manasseh.
21  Then Israel said to Joseph, “I am about to die, but God will be with you and take you back to the land of your fathers. 
22  And to you I give one more ridge of land than to your brothers, the ridge I took from the Amorites with my sword and my bow.”

Matthew 28:16-20
The Great Commission
16  Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 
17  When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.
18  Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 
19  Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 
20  and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
