Show Verse Quote Highlights
Context — Jacob Blesses Ephraim and Manasseh
16the angel who has redeemed me from all harm— may He bless these boys. And may they be called by my name and the names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac, and may they grow into a multitude upon the earth.”
17When Joseph saw that his father had placed his right hand on Ephraim’s head, he was displeased and took his father’s hand to move it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s.
18“Not so, my father!” Joseph said. “This one is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head.”
19But his father refused. “I know, my son, I know!” he said. “He too shall become a people, and he too shall be great; nevertheless, his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his offspring shall become a multitude of nations.” 20So that day Jacob blessed them and said: “By you shall Israel pronounce this blessing: ‘May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh.’” So he put Ephraim before Manasseh.Cross References

Genesis 48:18 Summary
[In Genesis 48:18, Joseph tries to correct his father, Jacob, because he thinks his father is making a mistake by giving the primary blessing to the younger son, Ephraim, instead of the firstborn, Manasseh. However, Jacob knows what he is doing and is following God's plan. This shows us that God's ways are not always our ways, and we should trust in His sovereignty, as it says in Isaiah 55:9. We can also learn from Joseph's example to respect and defer to those in authority over us, even when we disagree with their decisions, as is encouraged in Romans 13:1-2 and Hebrews 13:17.]
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Joseph correct his father in Genesis 48:18?
Joseph corrected his father because he wanted to ensure that the firstborn, Manasseh, received the primary blessing, as was the custom in their culture, similar to what is described in Genesis 25:31 and Genesis 27:1-4.
What was Joseph's concern about his father's actions in Genesis 48:18?
Joseph was concerned that his father, Jacob, was giving the primary blessing to the younger son, Ephraim, instead of the firstborn, Manasseh, which went against the traditional practices of their family and culture, as seen in Genesis 48:14.
How does this verse relate to the concept of God's sovereignty?
This verse shows that God's sovereignty can sometimes override human traditions and customs, as Jacob's decision to bless Ephraim over Manasseh was likely guided by God, similar to how God chose the younger son, Jacob, over Esau in Genesis 25:23.
What can we learn from Joseph's reaction to his father's actions in Genesis 48:18?
We can learn that even when we think we know what is best, we should still trust in God's plan and sovereignty, as Joseph eventually did, and as is encouraged in Proverbs 3:5-6 and Jeremiah 29:11.
Reflection Questions
- What are some times in my life when I have tried to correct someone or intervene in a situation, and how did it turn out?
- How can I balance my desire to follow tradition and custom with my need to trust in God's sovereignty and plan?
- What are some ways that I can show respect and deference to those in authority over me, even when I disagree with their decisions?
- How can I apply the principles of Genesis 48:18 to my own family and relationships, and what can I learn from Joseph's example?
Gill's Exposition on Genesis 48:18
And Joseph said unto his father, not so, my father,.... It is not right, it should not so be, that the right hand should be put on the youngest, and the left hand on the eldest; for this [is] the
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Genesis 48:18
And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head. No JFB commentary on these verses.
Trapp's Commentary on Genesis 48:18
Genesis 48:18 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this [is] the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.Ver. 18. Not so, my father, &c.] Here are a couple of holy prophets differing in their judgments; yet not about the substance of the blessing, but the circumstance of it. Wonder not though such things still fall out in the true Church, and the doctors be likewise divided in points less material, and that touch not the foundation. Luther interprets those words of Christ, "This is my body," synecdochically; Calvin, metonymically. Hence the Jesuits straight cry out: The Spirit of God dissents not from itself; but these interpretations dissent one from another, therefore they are not of the Spirit. Now it were easy to stop their foul mouths, by telling them of their own far worse differences. But is it not a doleful thing that we should, with those birds, aqnoscere in nostris vulneribus nostras pennas? "Brother goeth to law with brother, and that before infidels." This is the devil’ s malice, to sow tares, &c. Christ came to destroy his works; yet never were so many possessed as about that time. See The Peace of Rome.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Genesis 48:18
Verse 18. Joseph said - Not so, my father] Joseph supposed that his father had made a mistake in laying his right hand on the head of the youngest, because the right hand was considered as the most noble, and the instrument of conveying the highest dignities, and thus it has ever been considered among all nations, though the reason of it is not particularly obvious. Even in the heavens the right hand of God is the place of the most exalted dignity. It has been observed that Joseph spoke here as he was moved by natural affection, and that Jacob acted as he was influenced by the Holy Spirit.
