Genesis 48:13-20
13And JosephH3130 tookH3947 bothH8147 of themH853—with EphraimH669 in his right handH3225 toward Israel’sH3478 left handH8040, and ManassehH4519 in his left handH8040 toward Israel’sH3478 right handH3225—and brought them closeH5066 to himH413. 14But IsraelH3478 stretched outH7971 his right handH3225 and putH7896 it onH5921 the headH7218 of EphraimH669H1931, the youngerH6810; and crossingH7919 his handsH3027, he put his leftH8040 onH5921 Manasseh’sH4519 headH7218, althoughH3588 ManassehH4519 was the firstbornH1060. 15Then he blessedH1288 JosephH3130 and saidH559:
