From between his knees Not his own, but Jacob's, between which they stood, while Jacob kissed and embraced them, and from which Joseph removed them, that they might not be burdensome to their aged and weak grandfather, and especially that he might place them in a fit order and a reverent posture to receive the blessing which he earnestly desired. He bowed himself To testify his reverence for his father, his gratitude for the favour now shown to him and his children, and his humble request for his blessing upon them.
