Joseph brought his two sons, Ephriam and Manasseh, to his father to bless them: And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephriam's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the first born. (Genesis 48:14) The blessing of Jacob was transferred to his two grandsons by laying his hands upon their heads.
At iniunat ni Israel ang kaniyang kanang kamay, at ipinatong sa ulo ni Ephraim, na siyang bunso, at ang kaniyang kaliwang kamay ay sa ulo ni Manases, na pinapatnubayang sadya ang kaniyang mga kamay; sapagka’t si Manases ang panganay. (Genesis 48:14) Ang pagpapala ni Jacob ay nailipat sa dalawang apo sa pamamagitan ng pagpapatong ng mga kamay sa kanilang mga ulo. MGA LEVITA:
