Panel 25: Jacob blesses Ephraim and Manessah (Genesis 48)
Jacob, when he blessed his grandsons by his son Joseph, insisted on putting this right hand on the head of the younger child, Ephraim, and prophesized that the offspring of this child would be greater than those of the older son, Manessah.
Jacob (halo, bearded) sits at center blessing the two sons of his son Joseph. He crosses his arms as he rests his hands on the heads of the boys who stands on either side of him, their hands in prayer.
