HAMALACH HAGOEL
This picture of a hand giving Yaacov's blessing of "Hamalach Hagoel" was the blessing Yaacov gave to Ephraim and Menashe on his deathbed.
When Yosef saw that his father had placed his right hand on Ephraim's head, he was displeased. He tried to lift his father's hand from Ephraim's head and place it on Menashe's.
"That's not the way it should be done, Father," said Yosef. "The other one is the first-born. Place your right hand on his head."
His father refused and said, "I know, my son, I know. The older one will also become a nation. He too will attain greatness. But his younger brother will become even greater, and his descendants will become full-fledged nations."
On that day Yaacov blessed them. He said, "In time to come Israel will use you as a blessing. They will say, 'May HaShem make you like Ephraim and Menashe.'" He deliberately put Ephraim before Manasseh. (Akhlah.com)
