ગુજરાતીઉત્પત્તિ ૪૮:૧૪
ઇઝરાયલે તેનો જમણો હાથ લાંબો કરીને એફ્રાઇમ જે નાનો હતો તેના માથા પર મૂક્યો અને તેનો ડાબો હાથ મનાશ્શાના માથા પર મૂક્યો. તેણે સમજપૂર્વક તેના હાથ એ રીતે મૂક્યા હતા. આમ તો મનાશ્શા જ્યેષ્ઠ હતો.
हिन्दीउत्पत्ति ४८:१४
तब इस्राएल ने अपना दाहिना हाथ बढ़ाकर एप्रैम के सिर पर जो छोटा था, और अपना बायाँ हाथ बढ़ाकर मनश्शे के सिर पर रख दिया; उसने तो जान बूझकर ऐसा किया; नहीं तो जेठा मनश्शे ही था।

In context

12Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.

13Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them near to him.

14Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it on Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn.

15He blessed Joseph, and said, “The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has fed me all my life long to this day,

16the angel who has redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads, and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac. Let them grow into a multitude upon the earth.”
