Mor holdt barnet fram foran far og ba ham om å erkjenne farskapet med familie som vitner. Hvis faren satte barnet på kneet, hadde han akseptert barnet som sitt eget og det ble da tatt opp i ættenKnesetting (Old Norse knésetja) is a Norse ritual from pre-Christian times and can sometimes be compared to a Christian baptism. During the ceremony the child get its name and was taken up in the family. The mother held the baby up in front of father and asked him to acknowledge paternity with family as witnesses. If the father put the child on his knee, he had accepted the child as his own.
