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.
Guiding his hands wittingly, х sikeel (H7919) 'et (H854) yaadaayw (H3027)] - literally, made his hands wise. Gesenius renders the words, 'laying his hands circumspectly.' Septuagint, 'crossing his hands.'
