And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head unto Manasseh’s head.
Cuando José vio que su padre había puesto su mano derecha sobre la cabeza de Efraín, se molestó por eso. Entonces tomó la mano de su padre para moverla de la cabeza de Efraín y ponerla sobre la cabeza de Manasés.
José se molestó cuando su padre bendijo a Efraín en lugar de a Manasés, el hijo mayor.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Genesis, Jacob, who is nearing the end of his life, is blessing his son Joseph's children, Ephraim and Manasseh, as part of the patriarchal promises passed down through generations. According to ancient Near Eastern customs, the right hand was used to confer the greater blessing, which was typically given to the firstborn son, symbolizing primacy and inheritance. Joseph was displeased because he expected his father to follow this tradition by placing the right hand on Manasseh, the older brother, but Jacob deliberately crossed his hands, reflecting God's sovereign choice in matters of blessing and destiny.
