The dual promises God made to Abraham, which remained together through Isaac and Jacob (whose name was changed to Israel), became separated in Jacob's sons. The promise of the Christ, the Chief Ruler, and salvation went to Judah (the Jews).

The "birthright" inheritance, or God's promise to Abraham of material prosperity and national greatness, went to the tribe of Joseph, which was split between his two sons, Ephraimand Manasseh - Genesis 48.

Therefore, when it came to dividing the land among the twelve tribes after the Israelites entered the Promised Land... Joseph's inheritance was divided between his two tribes.

"...For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the Chief Ruler; but the birthright was Joseph's..." (I Chron.5:2).

Answer:The Question is misleading, because the tribe of Manasseh was split. When the tribes of Israel were coming to end of there wilderness journey, Reuben and Gad had observed "the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle," they negotiated with Moses to receive land, with the half tribe of Manasseh included, on the East side of the Jordan River in Gilead. Numbers32:1-33; Joshua 22:9.

So, Moses granted, that if they fulfill their obligation to help conquer the land of Canaan with the other tribes, that he would grant "to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country round about." v.33.

Joshua, as he led the Israelites into the promised land confirmed the legacy Moses gave to them in Joshua 12:6. Later we find the other half of the tribe of Manasseh received their portion of land West of the Jordan River with the tribes of Ephraim and Dan. Joshua 21::5. The two halves of the tribe of Manasseh were separated by the Jordan.

Where is Manasseh located?

"Manasseh" refers both to the son of Hezekiah and to the eldest son of Joseph. The geographic "Manasseh" is the area that the half-tribe of Manasseh settled following Israel's entry into Canaan Land after 40 years of meandering through the wilderness subsequent to their deliverance from Egyptian bondage. Manasseh was the only tribe of the twelve to settle land on both sides of the Jordan, extending from the Great Sea (Mediterranean) to the land of the Ammonites. Notable cities in their territory were Dothan, Shechem, Tirzah and Jabesh Gilead.

Of the 12 tribes two of them were not his who were the other 2?

The answer below is correct. When Israel (Jacob) came to Egypt, he "adopted" into his clan two of his grandsons, the two eldest sons of Joseph named Ephraim and Manasseh. In doing so, Israel (Jacob) increase the 12 tribes of Israel to 13. This is because rather than simply adding in two more portions, Joseph was given a double portion. Joseph's descendants received two portions of the inheritance (in Ephraim and Manasseh) while the other eleven tribes received only one portion. Ephraim and Manasseh

What part of Canaan was the tribe of Levi given?

We read in Joshua 13:14, that the tribe of Levi was not given an inheritance. Originally, the tribe of Levi was sentenced to be landless for its violent behaviour (Genesis 49:5-7), but later the Levites redeemed themselves (Exodus 32:25-28) and were promised a blesssing (Deuteronomy 33:8-11). Joseph's two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh were adopted by Israel as his own and eached received a land portion and would have made it 13 tribes. But since Levi had no land portion, there were only 12 tribes per the land distribution. Yet, in each of the cities in the territiories of the tribes, the Levites had land but most importantly, they inherited the sacrifices of God - a priveledged inheritance.

When ephraim and manasseh complained they needed more land what did what did Joshua tell them?

After Joshua had allotted portions of the newly-conquered land of Canaan to each of the tribes of Israel, the people of Ephraim and Manasseh complained that Joshua had given them only one lot although they were a great and numerous people. In response, Joshua invited them to go up to the forest country and conquer more land by wresting it from the Perizzites and giants who inhabited it. Ephraim and Manasseh worried that they would not be able to conquer these Canaanite peoples, who had iron chariots; but Joshua insisted that they would succeed in driving out the Canaanites. By occupying the mountain country, they would obtain a sufficient plot of land. The incident is recorded in the Biblical book of Joshua, chapter 17, verses 14 to 18.
