And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaph´nath–paane´ah; and he gave him to wife As´enath the daughter of Potiphe´rah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.
And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as E´phra-im and as Manas´seh: and he set E´phra-im before Manas´seh.
For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manas´seh and E´phra-im: therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance.
There was also a lot for the tribe of Manas´seh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph; to wit, for Machir the firstborn of Manas´seh, the father of Gil´e-ad: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gil´e-ad and Bashan.
