Genesis 48:16 in Context — Genesis 48

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!

17 Joseph vit avec déplaisir que son père posait sa main droite sur la tête d’Éphraïm; il saisit la main de son père, pour la détourner de dessus la tête d’Éphraïm, et la diriger sur celle de Manassé.

18 Et Joseph dit à son père: Pas ainsi, mon père, car celui-ci est le premier-né; pose ta main droite sur sa tête.
