Pharaoh gave Joseph the name Zaphenath-paneah and gave him a wife, Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest at On. And Joseph went throughout the land of Egypt.
Some time after this, Joseph was told, ‘Your father is weaker.’ So he set out with his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
So he blessed them that day, putting Ephraim before Manasseh when he said, ‘The nation Israel will invoke blessings by you, saying, “May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh.” ’
The young men of On and Pi-beseth will fall by the sword, and those cities will go into captivity.
The descendants of Joseph became two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. No portion of the land was given to the Levites except cities to live in, along with pasturelands for their cattle and livestock.
This was the land allotted for the tribe of Manasseh as Joseph’s firstborn. Gilead and Bashan were given to Machir, the firstborn of Manasseh and the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war.
