Genesis 48:12-14

New King James Version

¹² So Joseph brought them from beside his knees, and he bowed down with his face to the earth. ¹³ And Joseph took them both, Ephraim with his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh with his left hand toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them near him. ¹⁴ Then Israel stretched out his right hand and ^(A)laid it on Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh’s head, ^(B)guiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh was the ^(C)firstborn.
