OET (OET-RV) Then Yosef removed his sons from his father’s knees and bowed with his face to the ground.
וַיּוֹצֵ֥א יוֹסֵ֛ף אֹתָ֖ם
and,removed Yōşēf/(Joseph) DOM=them
Alternate translation: “Then Joseph took his sons away” or “Then Joseph had his sons step away”
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
מֵעִ֣ם בִּרְכָּ֑יו
from,on knees_of,his
Joseph’s sons (who were in their 20s) were near Israel’s knees, so that he could hug them; they were not sitting on his knees or lap. Also make sure your translation of his refers to Joseph’s father (Israel/Jacob), not Joseph. Alternate translation: “from near his father,”
וַיִּשְׁתַּ֥חוּ
and,bowed
Alternate translation: “and he prostrated himself before him”
Note 2 topic: translate-symaction
לְאַפָּ֖יו אָֽרְצָה
with,face_of,his ground,to
Joseph bowed to the ground to show thankfulness and respect to his father and possibly also to God. If necessary, you could make that information explicit in your translation or put it in a footnote. Alternate translation: “with his face toward the ground in thankfulness and respect.”
48:1-22 In blessing Ephraim and Manasseh, Jacob reached out by faith for the promise to be continued, having learned that God’s ways are not always the ways of men. Out of Jacob’s long life, the writer to the Hebrews selected the blessing of Joseph’s sons as his great act of faith (Heb 11:21). As Jacob acted in light of God’s will, the primary blessing was again given to the younger instead of the older son, but without scheming and its bitter results.

OET (OET-RV) Then Yosef removed his sons from his father’s knees and bowed with his face to the ground.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
