And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.
Manasseh and Ephraim - (see the note at Genesis 41:50-51.) Ephraim and Manasseh, though born in Egypt, are classed in this catalogue as being heads of families (Numbers 26:28). The Septuagint inserts here, from 1 Chronicles 7:14-22, the five sons of Manasseh and Ephraim.
