Blessing Hands Inner Vision

Genesis 48:13-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 48 in context

Scripture Focus

13And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him.
14And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn.
Genesis 48:13-14

Biblical Context

Joseph brings Ephraim and Manasseh near; Jacob blesses Ephraim with his right hand and Manasseh with his left, guiding with wisdom. The scene signals inner discernment and the prophetic reversal of birthright.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner theatre, Genesis 48:13–14 reveals your consciousness arranging its own blessings. Ephraim in the right hand and Manasseh in the left symbolize two aspects of your self—the future, vibrant and unseen, and the rooted outward life. When Israel (your I AM) stretches out the right hand to Ephraim, he affirms the inner favor, the birthright that consciousness assigns to the newer awareness rather than the old order. The hand’s placement is not about biology, but about how you govern your inner state: you can bless the unexpected young capacity of your mind, granting it precedence over the familiar elder habit. The elder's place remains, yet the blessing flows according to inner truth and promise, not outward birthright. The word wittingly is a summons to deliberate imagination—carefully guiding your attention to what you intend to become, not what seems due to you by habit. So, invoke the I AM to lay hold of Ephraim’s head, feel the assurance of a higher order, and watch as your life follows the inner order you have approved.

Practice This Now

In a quiet moment, assume the feeling that your right hand has blessed the newer, inner power; feel the younger self recognized as rightful birthright. Then revise any lack by declaring, 'I am the I AM, and I now bless the newer within me and guide it with wisdom.'
