50:23 Joseph saw the descendants of Ephraim to the third generation. 1 He also saw the children of Makir the son of Manasseh; they were given special inheritance rights by Joseph. 2
1 tnHeb “saw Ephraim, the children of the third.”
2 tnHeb “they were born on the knees of Joseph.” This expression implies their adoption by Joseph, which meant that they received an inheritance from him.
