Manasseh – making forgetful
“For God has made me forget all my toil and all my father’s house.” Genesis 41:51
Ephraim – fruitfulness
“For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.” Genesis 41:52

Jacob blessed them, “In you Israel shall bless, saying, “Elohim make you as Ephrayim (fruitful) and as Menashsheh (forgetful).”

By setting Ephraim over Manasseh, Jacob was saying that Joseph’s future fruitfulness would outweigh all the pain he endured in his past. (Genesis 41:51-52; 48:20)

“I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]:

forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, …”  (Philippians 3:13 AMPC)
