And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.
Y ahora tus dos hijos, Efraín y Manasés, que te nacieron en Egipto antes de que yo viniera a ti a Egipto, son míos. Serán como Rubén y Simeón, también serán mis hijos.
Jacob adopta a Efraín y Manasés como sus propios hijos, dándoles el mismo estatus que a Rubén y Simeón.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This occurs when Jacob is near death and is blessing his son Joseph's family. Joseph had married an Egyptian woman and had these two sons while serving as a high official in Egypt during the seven years of plenty, before Jacob and the rest of the family moved to Egypt during the famine. By adopting his grandsons, Jacob was ensuring they would each receive a full tribal inheritance in the Promised Land, effectively giving Joseph a double portion through his sons.
