Genesis 48:16

RBT Translation:

The Messenger is the One-who-redeems [acts as kinsman-redeemer] אֶת-me from the whole of the ruinous-one, he is kneeling אֶת-the Scattered-ones, and my name is being called-out in them, and the name of my fathers, Father-of-Tumult and He-Laughs; and they are spawning [as fish]¹³⁴³ to the Abundance in the inner part¹³⁴⁴ of the Earth.`

LITV Translation:
The Angel that redeemed me from every evil, may He bless the youths; and may my name be called on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac, and may they like the fishes increase into a multitude in the midst of the earth.

ESV Translation:
the angel who has redeemed me from all evil, bless the boys; and in them let my name be carried on, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.”

Brenton Septuagint Translation:
the angel who delivers me from all evils, bless these boys, and my name shall be called upon them, and the name of my fathers, Abraham and Isaac; and let them be increased to a great multitude on the earth.
