Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh and said, ‘God has made me forget all my hardship and my whole family.’
Manasseh and Ephraim were born to Joseph in the land of Egypt. They were born to him by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, a priest at On.
Then Joseph took them from his father’s knees and bowed with his face to the ground.
But Israel stretched out his right hand and put it on the head of Ephraim, the younger, and crossing his hands, put his left on Manasseh’s head, although Manasseh was the firstborn.
