“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.”
When Joseph saw his father placing his right hand on Ephraim's head he was displeased; so he took hold of his father's hand to move it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head. The displacement of Joseph's management is the final scene of Joseph's effort to control outcomes. He is displeased; he tries to correct the hand placement. The application: the covenant person who has managed so many outcomes across so many years still tries to manage this one. The patriarch's deliberateness will not be redirected.
