Commentary on Genesis 48:13

Theological / Devotional

Joseph took them both. Joseph, who had prostrated himself before his father, either in filial reverence or in the realization that his father was speaking under inspiration, now took his two sons from between the knees of Israel, who had been sitting with the youths between his knees and embracing them. He took Ephraim, the younger, on his right hand, and Manasseh, the elder, on the left, so that Ephraim stood at Jacob’s left hand and Manasseh at his right.
