In the Book of Genesis, Jacob promises that Joseph's sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, will be treated as his own sons and will receive a share of the inheritance alongside Jacob's other sons. This act of adoption is symbolized when Jacob blesses the boys, placing his right hand on Ephraim, the younger, and his left on Manasseh, effectively elevating Ephraim's status. This blessing signifies the importance of Joseph's lineage within the tribes of Israel.

Why did the Israelite's feel so strong about the promise land?
Interesting question.. Why did the Israelites feel so strong about the promised land? You will find your answer written in Genesis 17 where the promise of that land was given to Abraham as a covenant made between Abraham and our Father. That covenant passed from Abraham to Isaac, and would have passed from Isaac to Esau, but Esau sold it to his younger brother Jacob - Israel. It would later pass from Israel to the younger of Josephs sons Ephraim (Genesis 48). Further you will discover in Jeremiah 24 that Judah (one of the 12 tribes of Israel) was prophesied to return to that land. An event which came true in 1947-48 when the state of Israel came into being.
