Genesis 48:14 in Context — Genesis 48
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.
15 Il bénit Joseph, et dit: Que le Dieu en présence duquel ont marché mes pères, Abraham et Isaac, que le Dieu qui m’a conduit depuis que j’existe jusqu’à ce jour,
16 que l’ange qui m’a délivré de tout mal, bénisse ces enfants! Qu’ils soient appelés de mon nom et du nom de mes pères, Abraham et Isaac, et qu’ils multiplient en abondance au milieu du pays!
