Why did Joseph's sons Ephraim and Manasseh become leaders of tribes in Old Testament?
The understanding is that the Twelve Tribes would correspond to Jacob's 12 sons, but since Levi was never intended to have land, the count of tribes lessened to 11. Thankfully, the Bible acknowledges that Joseph was very fertile and as a result, his two children will each bear enough individuals to merit their own tribes. Knowing this future, God gives them this mandate at the time of Jacob's death.Answer:Because Jacob (Israel) made them as his own and blessed them with the birthright blessing of all Israel with Ephraim the firstborn of God becoming a great company of nations and his brother, Manasseh, a singularly great nation.

He also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his descendants shall become a multitude of nations."20 So he blessed them that day, saying, "By you Israel will bless, saying, 'May God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh!'" And thus he set Ephraim before Manasseh.Jeremiah 31:9New King James Version (NKJV) 9 They shall come with weeping,And with supplications I will lead them.I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters,In a straight way in which they shall not stumble;For I am a Father to Israel,And Ephraim is My firstborn.
Younger son of Joseph and Asenath?
Ephraim, who with his older brother, Manasseh, received the Birthright blessing from Israel:Genesis 48:15-20New King James Version (NKJV) 15 And he blessed Joseph, and said:"God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked,The God who has fed me all my life long to this day,16 The Angel who has redeemed me from all evil,Bless the lads;Let my name be named upon them,And the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac;And let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth."17 Now when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him; so he took hold of his father's hand to remove it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head. 18 And Joseph said to his father, "Not so, my father, for this one is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head."19 But his father refused and said, "I know, my son, I know. He also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his descendants shall become a multitude of nations."20 So he blessed them that day, saying, "By you Israel will bless, saying, 'May God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh!'" And thus he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
Why was Joseph not included in the twelve tribes of Israel?
Joseph was not included in the twelve tribes of Israel because his two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, were each counted as separate tribes, bringing the total number of tribes to twelve. This was a result of Jacob adopting Joseph's sons as his own, giving them equal inheritance rights with his other sons. Therefore, Joseph's portion was divided between his two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, who were then each considered individual tribes within the twelve tribes of Israel.

Was Joseph was the only brother of the twelve who did not have a tribe of Israel named after him?
Joseph's tribe is split in two and represented by the descendants of his two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh."...Israel [Jacob] said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed... and Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn. And HE BLESSED JOSEPH, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day, the Angel which redeemed me from all evil, BLESS THE LADS; and LET MY NAME [Israel] BE NAMED ON THEM, and of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth... And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you... moreover I have given thee one portion above thy brethren..." (Gen.48:11-22)."...Joseph is a fruitful bough... the blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph... all these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them." (Gen.49:22-28)The very name, ISRAEL, is named on the tribe of Joseph above all the other tribes. And when the two kingdoms of the tribes of Israel split after Solomon's death... the ten tribes of the "House of Israel" were headed by Joseph's two tribes, Ephraim and Manasseh, while the "House of Judah" was led by the Jews [the descendants of Judah].
