And Israelª stretched outª°¹ his right hand,ª and laidª° [it] upon¹ Ephraim'sª head,ª who¹ [was] the younger,ª and his left handª upon¹ Manasseh'sª head,ª guiding²° his hands² wittingly;ª°¹¹ for¹ Manassehª [was] the firstborn.ª" {Gen 48:13-14} + "And Josephª saidª° unto¹ his father,ª Not¹ so,¹ my father:ª for¹ this¹ [is] the firstborn;ª putª° thy right handª upon¹ his head.ª ...
