Genesis 48:12 in Context — Genesis 48

10 Les yeux d’Israël étaient appesantis par la vieillesse; il ne pouvait plus voir. Joseph les fit approcher de lui; et Israël leur donna un baiser, et les embrassa.

11 Israël dit à Joseph: Je ne pensais pas revoir ton visage, et voici que Dieu me fait voir même ta postérité.

12 Joseph les retira des genoux de son père, et il se prosterna en terre devant lui.

13 Puis Joseph les prit tous deux, Éphraïm de sa main droite à la gauche d’Israël, et Manassé de sa main gauche à la droite d’Israël, et il les fit approcher de lui.

14 Israël étendit sa main droite et la posa sur la tête d’Éphraïm qui était le plus jeune, et il posa sa main gauche sur la tête de Manassé: ce fut avec intention qu’il posa ses mains ainsi, car Manassé était le premier-né.
