His story, found in Genesis, highlights themes of providence and redemption. Joseph's sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, were adopted by Jacob as his own, effectively granting Joseph a double portion among the tribes of Israel (<a href="/genesis/48-5.htm">Genesis 48:5</a>). This adoption is significant as it fulfills Jacob's blessing and prophecy, elevating Joseph's lineage to a prominent position among the tribes.<p><b>from Ephraim, Elishama son of Ammihud:</b><br>Ephraim, the younger son of Joseph, received a greater blessing from Jacob than his older brother Manasseh (<a href="/genesis/48-19.htm">Genesis 48:19</a>). This tribe became one of the most powerful in Israel, often representing the northern kingdom. Elishama, as a leader from Ephraim, signifies the tribe's importance and influence. The name Elishama means "God has heard," reflecting a common biblical theme of divine attention and response. Ammihud, Elishama's father, means "people of glory," suggesting a noble lineage.<p><b>and from Manasseh, Gamaliel son of Pedahzur:</b><br>Manasseh, the elder son of Joseph, was also blessed by Jacob, though with a lesser blessing than Ephraim (<a href="/genesis/48-14.htm">Genesis 48:14-20</a>). The tribe of Manasseh was known for its large territory, which was divided between land on both sides of the Jordan River. Gamaliel, a leader from Manasseh, carries a name meaning "God is my reward," indicating a recognition of divine favor. Pedahzur, his father, means "the rock has ransomed," which can be seen as a foreshadowing of Christ, the Rock, who ransoms humanity. This connection to redemption and divine reward underscores the spiritual heritage and future hope of the tribe.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/joseph.htm">Joseph</a></b><br>One of the twelve sons of Jacob, Joseph's account is pivotal in Genesis.
