And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn.
Israel extendió su mano derecha y la puso sobre la cabeza de Efraín, aunque era el hijo menor, y su mano izquierda sobre la cabeza de Manasés, cruzando sus brazos a propósito. Hizo esto intencionalmente, aunque Manasés era el hermano mayor.
Israel cruzó deliberadamente sus manos para bendecir al hijo menor con su mano derecha, contrario al orden tradicional.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This scene takes place when the elderly Jacob (Israel) is blessing Joseph's two sons before his death. In ancient times, the right hand was considered the hand of greater blessing and honor, typically reserved for the firstborn son. Jacob's crossing of his hands was a deliberate act that went against cultural expectations, similar to how God had chosen him over his older brother Esau.
