Ephraim's Brother: Manasseh in Genesis 41:50–52
Ephraim's brother was Manasseh, Joseph's firstborn by Asenath. Genesis 41:50–52 names both sons and gives the reason Joseph chose each name.
Joseph's Descendants: Ephraim and Manasseh
Joseph's line runs through two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Jacob adopts as his own and makes heads of tribes. Jacob deliberately crosses his hands, giving the younger Ephraim precedence over the firstborn.
