The descendents of both brothers became part of the [[Twelve tribes of Israel]]. When [[Jacob]] gave his blessing on the sons of Joseph, he put his right hand on the younger, Ephraim, instead of on Manasseh. Joseph tried to correct this, but Jacob told him that while both brothers would be great, Ephraim would be greater than his brother Manasseh. (Gen 48)
