Genesis 48:16 in Context — Genesis 48

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.

17 Então vendo José que seu pai punha a direita sobre a cabeça de Efraim, causou-lhe isto desgosto; e pegou a mão de seu pai, para mudá-la de sobre a cabeça de Efraim à cabeça de Manassés.

18 E disse José a seu pai: Não assim, meu pai, porque este é o primogênito; põe tua mão direita sobre sua cabeça.
