📚 Contexto Histórico
This scene takes place when Jacob (also called Israel) is on his deathbed in Egypt, where his family had come during a severe famine. Joseph, now a powerful leader in Egypt, has brought his two sons born in Egypt to receive their grandfather's blessing. In ancient Near Eastern culture, the positioning of children for blessing was significant, with the right hand typically reserved for the firstborn who would receive the greater blessing.
