“Son of man, take a stick of wood and write on it, 'Belonging to Judah and the Israelites associated with him.' Then take another stick of wood, and write on it, 'Belonging to Joseph (that is, to Ephraim) and all the Israelites associated with him'" (New International Version, Ezekiel 37:16 Multilingual).

Ketriel Blad: In other words, in order for a total restoration to take place, the restored Ephraimites from among the nations will have to become Jewish, in the legal sense of the word, thus accepting the Jewish authorities and becoming obedient to Jewish halachah. In the prophecy of Ezekiel 37:19 the Hebrew text can be understood as HaShem giving Yehuda's stick the function of being over Ephraim's stick and this way both sticks will become one. This teaches us that the Ephraimite movement that comes from heaven cannot rise apart from the Jewish people without submission to the Jewish leaders' authority. This is not for all the gentiles.

Lawrence Fernandez: I’m your typical Filipino-Iranian from American Samoa with a pension for adventure. My life is filled with fantastic happenstances that have molded me into the wonderfully dashing, tormented artist of the 20th century. Yes, I am "the" one, and I have come to accept my situation and live with it. Is it hard waking up everyday to this face? No… but that’s beside the point. 
I enjoy music of all kinds especially since they almost entirely affect my mood, ergo I need to be cautious in public settings otherwise I may be too affected by the music and weep publicly to Del Ray’s "Born to Die"…. I’m glassy eyed just thinking about it. 
Besides that, I enjoy tennis, composing, dancing (of many, many styles), reading, cooking, and fire breathing/eating. True story, I enjoy the occasional fire meal–being from a polynesian island will inspire you.

Neil Asher Silberman, Israel Finkelstein, David Ussishkin, and Baruch Halpern: The Book of Joshua (12:21) specifically mentions the defeat of the king of Megiddo and the allotment of his territory to the tribe of Manasseh;

JACQUELINE SCHAALJE: Beit Shean is mentioned as belonging to the conquered area of the Israelite tribe of Manasseh

NETANYA MUNICIPALITY: thanks to the Lord for giving them {Netan~ya, lot. "gift of God"} the ability to continue the legacy of the 12 tribes who settled in the Land of Israel, and particularly of the half~tribe of Manasseh, which settled in the region.

Stephen Epstein: Some went down the Mekong River into Vietnam, the Philippines, Siam, Thailand and Malaysia, while some of the Israelites moved to Burma and west to India.
