And Yosef took them both, Efrayim in his right hand toward Yisrael's left hand, and Mnasheh in his left hand toward Yisrael's right hand, and brought them near unto him.
And Yisrael stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Efrayim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Mnasheh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Mnasheh was the firstborn.
