The sons of Joseph after their families: Manasseh and Ephraim.
KJV
The sons of Joseph after their families were Manasseh and Ephraim.
Jacob had crossed hands upon their heads, and had preferred Ephraim before Manasseh, which perhaps the Ephraimites had prided themselves too much in, and had trampled upon their brethren the Manassites; but, when the Lord saw that Manasseh was despised, he thus multiplied him exceedingly, for it is his glory to help the weakest, and raise up those that are cast down.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
