He maneuvered his hands because Menashe was the firstborn\u201d (Genesis 48:14).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Yosef brought his two sons to be blessed by Jacob, he placed his older son facing Jacob\u2019s right hand and the younger son facing his left hand. Yosef assumed that the older child would receive the more prestigious blessing that would be given with the right hand. But Jacob <a><\/a>crossed his arms and placed his right hand on Ephraim\u2019s head and left hand of Menashe\u2019s. Even though Yosef protested (48:17-18), Jacob insisted he knew what he was doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chizkuni asks an obvious question. If Jacob wanted to bless Ephraim with his right hand, why did he awkwardly maneuver his hands rather than just have the boys switch places?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>The phrase used by the Torah to describe Jacob\u2019s move was \u201csikel es yadav\u201d \u2013 literally, he maneuvered his hands with wisdom. Chizkuni explains that Jacob acted purposefully. He knew that in giving the priority blessing to the younger son he could be hurting the feelings of Menashe. But it would have been even more awkward and embarrassing to ask the boys to switch places. This would be pouring salt on a wound. Jacob was intent on giving his blessings to the boys in a way that would not rub the older brother\u2019s nose into the slight he could be experiencing and adding insult to injury.<\/p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By Rabbi Michael Skobac<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a9 Copyright, all rights reserved.
