* And Israel stretched out his right hand , and laid it upon Ephraims head ro #sh #, who was the younger tsa #iyr #, and his left hand upon Manassehs head ro #sh #, guiding # his hands wittingly ; for Manasseh was the firstborn . * And he blessed Joseph , and said , God , before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk , the God which fed me all my life long unto this day , * The Angel which redeemed me from all evil , bless the lads na #ar #; and let my name be named on them , and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac ; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth . * And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim , it displeased him : and he held up his fathers hand , to remove it from Ephraims head unto Manassehs head ro #sh #. * And Joseph said unto his father , Not so , my father : for this is the firstborn ; put thy right hand upon his head ro #sh #. * And his father refused , and said , I know it , my son , I know it : he also shall become a people , and he also shall be great : but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he , and his seed shall become a multitude of nations . * And he blessed them that day , saying , In thee shall Israel bless , saying , God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh : and he set Ephraim before Manasseh .
