MICHAEL FREUND: Ezekiel is commanded by God to take two sticks. On one, he is to write "For Judah," and on the other "For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim." Then comes the crucial instruction: "Bring them together into one stick so that they become one in your hand" (37:17). Ezekiel's vision is not one of uniformity. The two sticks do not cease to be what they are. Judah remains Judah; Joseph remains Joseph. Unity does not erase difference – it sanctifies and elevates it by placing it within a larger shared destiny.

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.

DOV BAR-LEIB: Binyamin ben Rachel can only partially defeat Amaleq, never quite destroying him at his root. Only Yosef, who Rav Kessin calls a Chetzi Av, a Half Patriarch, and Ephraim ben Yosef veOsnat can defeat Amaleq at his root in the world. The koach to do this seems to at least in part from Yosef and his descendants being impervious to the Evil Eye. He alone can "stare down Esav whose eyes are Amaleq", and win.

INSTEAD OF SONS (VAYECHI) by Rachel Barenblat

Robert Ash: For centuries, up through today, European-descended Christians have exclusively portrayed our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as being European in virtually every visual representation they have made including paintings, books, television, and films, but overuse and abuse of European images have "given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme" Him (2 Sam 12:14) by calling Christianity a "white man’s religion," a religion of racial prejudice, when it is neither. This has even continued decades after it has become widely known that Jesus was not a European at all.



Robert Ash: Egyptians were very prominent in bloodline and ethnic heritage of Israel. They were in Egypt for over 400 years and they didn’t grow from 70 people to 2.5 million people just marrying each other. Joseph married an African woman while he was president of Egypt. Her name was Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of the city of On [Gen 41:45]. Joseph’s children were half-African and each of his two half-African children [Ephraim and Manasseh] became a tribe of Israel. Because the tribe of Levi was not counted in the census of armed men for Israel’s army, Joseph was given two half-tribes. Two of Israel’s tribes were fathered by men who had African blood in their veins. All of the Jews from both of these tribes had an African forefather and they’re not the only ones. A large mixed multitude of Africans came out of Egypt with the Israelites [Ex 12:38].

Efrayim is not here. Efrayim is over there. Dan is not here. Dan is over there. Efrayim and Dan are not here. Efrayim and Dan are over there, where Ahasuerus reigned from Hodu to Cush.

Efraim Inbar: The rise of a more aggressive Iran – a direct consequence of the US retreat – may bring about greater tacit cooperation among Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Israel. The Kurds are a thorn in Turkey’s side. Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan are very fearful of growing Iranian influence. Russia is fully alive to the potential for a reassertion of a Russian role in the region in the wake of an American retreat. It already has signed exploration contracts with the Assad regime with regard to the recent gas discoveries in the Levant basin. Russia's efforts on Assad's behalf thus directly serve the interests of the Iranian regime because Damascus is a linchpin to its proxy, the Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Zohar I, Bereshith, 119a: The Messiah will appear in the land of Galilee.

Ulla: The Torah scholars in Galilee guard the ritual purity of their wines and oils.

A. Leib Scheinbaum: On the side opposite to the eastern camp, to the west, under the degel of Efraim, were the tribes of Efraim, Menashe and Benyamin. Efraim and Menashe essentially represented Shevet Yosef. Based upon Yaakov Avinu’s blessing to his sons prior to his demise, Horav Hirsch suggests that Efraim and Menashe were to develop greatness and might. Bravery would be their primary attribute, which would be a wonderful supplement to Yehudah in the east in terms of national welfare. Regrettably, history indicates that instead of complementing Yehudah, the house of Yosef opposed their leadership, catalyzing a tragic rift in Klal Yisrael. Instead of planting their degel/standard behind Yehudah, they chose to go to the forefront and claim leadership. When they broke the G-d-given formation, they brought ruin upon themselves and all the other tribes that had attached themselves to them.

וְיִשְׂרָאֵל אָהַב אֶת יוֹסֵף מִכָּל בָּנָיו כִּי בֶן זְקֻנִים הוּא לוֹ וְעָשָׂה לוֹ כְּתֹנֶת פַּסִּים
Jacob Siegel: Unlike many female characters in the Bible, Osnat has a name. Being identified by name humanizes her in the text.

Angela Standhartinger: Her name is no longer Asenath but "city of refuge." Her transformation is shown by new shining clothes (comp. 2 Enoch 22).
Joseph and Aseneth 1:8-9: And she was as tall as Sarah, and as beautiful as Rebecca, and as fair as Rachel; and this virgin’s name was Aseneth. And the fame of her beauty spread through all that land, even to its remotest corners;

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.
