Berean Standard Bible
“He saw Ephraim’s sons to the third generation, and indeed the sons of Machir son of Manasseh were brought up on Joseph’s knees.”
Joseph lives to see his great-grandchildren in Egypt, far from Canaan where his fathers were buried. The note comes near the end of Genesis, as the narrative prepares to turn from family story to national history in Exodus.
