Joseph received a double inheritance in the land since each of his sons had become a separate tribe. Ephraim and Manasseh were given their land here. Note that the two faithful spies were from two tribes that became very influential in the history of the Israelites:
Caleb—Judah—the tribe of kings through David
Joshua—Ephraim—the tribe of rebellion through Jeroboam
