Genesis 48:12-14

Revised Geneva Translation

¹² And Joseph took them away from his knees and did reverence down to the ground.

¹³ Then Joseph took them both (Ephraim in his right hand, toward Israel’s left hand and Manasseh in his left hand, toward Israel’s right hand). So, he brought them to him.

¹⁴ But Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it on Ephraim’s head (who was the younger) and his left hand upon Manasseh’s head (directing his hands intentionally, for Manasseh was the elder).
