(Gen 48:20) And he blessed them on that day, saying, “In you Yisra’ĕl shall bless, saying, ‘Elohim make you as Ephrayim and as Menashsheh!’ ” Thus he put Ephrayim before Menashsheh.
(Gen 50:23) And Yosĕph saw Ephrayim’s children to the third generation. The children of Maḵir, son of Menashsheh, were also brought up on Yosĕph’s knees.
(Jos 14:4) For the children of Yosĕph had become two tribes: Menashsheh and Ephrayim. And they gave no part to the Lĕwites in the land, except cities to dwell in, with their open land for their livestock and their possessions.

Samaria residents
About 2,000 people attended a nighttime prayer session at the Tomb of Joseph in Shechem Monday night. The prayers were held to mark Rosh Hodesh - the first day of the new month of Nisan - and was organized by the Samaria local authority and the "One Shechem" group.
The Tomb of Joseph was ransacked, burned and defiled by the Palestinian Authority in the year 2000, when a savage terror war against Israel was unleashed by PLO head Yasser Arafat, whom Israeli and American governments had seen as a man of peace. The Tomb was rebuilt and restored by the Samaria local authority and the "One Shechem" group, with the cooperation of the IDF.
Among the people praying at the site Monday night were two bereaved families: the Biton family, whose son, soldier First Sergeant Uri Biton, was killed in Lebanon, and the Mandel family, whose son, Lt. Daniel Mandel , was killed in Shechem eight years ago. Both Biton and Mandel served in the elite Nahal Reconnaissance Unit (Sayeret Nahal).
Knesset Member Uri Ariel (National Union) recalled the names of other soldiers killed in the Shechem area and said, "It is through the merit of IDF soldiers, especially the fallen soldiers of the IDF, that we merit to be in the land of Israel, including this important place."
