Genesis 48:6 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Thy issue after them The Scriptures nowhere mention, nor does it appear that Joseph had any more children than these. But Jacob speaks this on supposition that he might, and in case he should have any more. Shall be thine Shall be reputed as thy children and my grand- children, and shall not have any distinct share of my present and future inheritance, but shall have a part of their brethren's lot in such manner and proportion as thou shalt think fit.

Genesis 48:6

6 And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.
