14
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
Arcana Coelestia # 6271
6271. 'And his left hand on Manasseh's head' means that he considered good to occupy the second place. This is clear from the meaning of 'putting out his left hand' as considering it to occupy the second place; and from the representation of 'Manasseh' as the will, and so also the good of charity. For what is implied here, see just above in 6269.
