          later on, Joseph's sons Manasseh and ephraim received territories
        and were listed among the 12 leaders (see numbers 1 listing). As part
        of the occupation of Israel, each tribe was given a portion of land in
        their newly acquired homeland.

          numbers 1:33-34 revealed the emergence of Joseph’s sons,
        Manasseh and ephraim, as leaders within the 12 Tribes of Israel.

        among the tribe leaders:
