12 So Joseph brought them from beside his knees, and he bowed down with his face to the earth.
13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim with his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh with his left hand toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them near him.
14 Then Israel stretched out his right hand and alaid it on Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh’s head, bguiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh was the cfirstborn.
15 And ahe blessed Joseph, and said:
“God, bbefore whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked,
The God who has fed me all my life long to this day,
“God, bbefore whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked,
The God who has fed me all my life long to this day,
16 The Angel awho has redeemed me from all evil,
Bless the lads;
Let bmy name be named upon them,
And the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac;
And let them cgrow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.”
Bless the lads;
Let bmy name be named upon them,
And the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac;
And let them cgrow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.”
17 Now when Joseph saw that his father alaid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him; so he took hold of his father’s hand to remove it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head.
18 And Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father, for this one is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head.”
