This site's exposition

Of the children of Joseph, namely, of the children of Ephraim

on Numbers 1:32-43

Joseph is counted as two tribes, and Ephraim at forty thousand five hundred stands above Manasseh at thirty two thousand two hundred. Jacob had crossed his hands over those two boys at Genesis 48:14-20 and said the younger would be greater, and the muster roll reads that way generations later. Benjamin comes in at thirty five thousand four hundred though Genesis 46:21 credits him with ten sons going down into Egypt, while Dan, who went down with one son at Genesis 46:23, musters sixty two thousand seven hundred and stands second only to Judah.

proposed

Of the two half-tribes of Joseph, who is seen to be "a fruitful bough" [Ge 49:22], that of Ephraim was the larger, as had been predicted. The relative increase of all, as in the two just mentioned, was owing to the special blessing of God, conformably to the prophetic declaration of the dying patriarch.
