from the sons of Joseph:
Joseph, one of the twelve sons of Jacob, is a significant figure in biblical history. His story, found in Genesis, highlights themes of providence and redemption. Joseph's sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, were adopted by Jacob as his own, effectively granting Joseph a double portion among the tribes of Israel (Genesis 48:5). This adoption is significant as it fulfills Jacob's blessing and prophecy, elevating Joseph's lineage to a prominent position among the tribes.

from Ephraim, Elishama son of Ammihud:
Ephraim, the younger son of Joseph, received a greater blessing from Jacob than his older brother Manasseh (Genesis 48:19). This tribe became one of the most powerful in Israel, often representing the northern kingdom. Elishama, as a leader from Ephraim, signifies the tribe's importance and influence. The name Elishama means "God has heard," reflecting a common biblical theme of divine attention and response. Ammihud, Elishama's father, means "people of glory," suggesting a noble lineage.

and from Manasseh, Gamaliel son of Pedahzur:
Manasseh, the elder son of Joseph, was also blessed by Jacob, though with a lesser blessing than Ephraim (Genesis 48:14-20). The tribe of Manasseh was known for its large territory, which was divided between land on both sides of the Jordan River. Gamaliel, a leader from Manasseh, carries a name meaning "God is my reward," indicating a recognition of divine favor. Pedahzur, his father, means "the rock has ransomed," which can be seen as a foreshadowing of Christ, the Rock, who ransoms humanity. This connection to redemption and divine reward underscores the spiritual heritage and future hope of the tribe.
