Joseph's inheritance — Therefore the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance. Ephraim and Manasseh (Joseph's two sons) receive their allocated inheritance. The phrase 'took their inheritance' (וַיִּשְׁמְרוּ בְנֵי־יוֹסֵף) indicates possession of the allocated territory. The north-central hill country is now Joseph's domain.
