“The sons of Joseph after their families were Manasseh and Ephraim.”
The sons of Joseph after their families were Manasseh and Ephraim — Joseph's descendants are singled out for special enumeration. Unlike the other tribes, Joseph is represented through his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. This reflects Jacob's adoption of Joseph's sons and the subdivision of Joseph's inheritance into two tribal portions.
