4. The children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim —As two and a half tribes were settled on the east Jordan, and the Levites had no inheritance assigned them in land, there would have been only eight and a half tribes to provide for. But Ephraim and Manasseh, the two sons of Joseph, had been constituted two tribes ( :- ), and although Levi was excluded, the original number of the tribes of Israel was still preserved. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-5" class="com-number"
