And he called the name of the second, Ephraim; for God, [he said], has increased me in the land of my humiliation.

And he would not, but said, I know it, son, I know it; he also shall be a people, and he shall be exalted, but his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.

Joseph is a son increased; my dearly loved son is increased; my youngest son, turn to me.
