Genesis 48:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² Joseph took them off his knees and bowed his face to the ground. ¹³ Then he placed the two of them, Ephraim on the left hand of Israel and Manasseh on the right hand of Israel, and he brought them to him. ¹⁴ But Israel took his right hand and put it on the head of Ephraim, who was the younger of the two, and the left hand he put on the head of Manasseh, crossing his arms, although Manasseh was the firstborn.
