Genesis 48:14 in Context — Genesis 48
12 Então José os tirou dentre seus joelhos, e inclinou-se à terra.
13 E tomou-os José a ambos, Efraim à sua direita, à esquerda de Israel; e a Manassés à sua esquerda, à direita de Israel; e fez-lhes chegar a ele.
14 Então Israel estendeu sua mão direita, e a pôs sobre a cabeça de Efraim, que era o mais novo, e sua esquerda sobre a cabeça de Manassés, colocando assim suas mãos propositadamente, ainda que Manassés era o primogênito.
15 E abençoou a José, e disse: O Deus em cuja presença andaram meus pais Abraão e Isaque, o Deus que me mantém desde que eu sou até hoje,
16 O Anjo que me liberta de todo mal abençoe a estes moços: e meu nome seja chamado neles, e o nome de meus pais Abraão e Isaque: e multipliquem em grande maneira em meio da terra.
