The latter are substantially the same as those given by Moses in :- ; they here begin with the north, but in Numbers they begin with the south ( Numbers 34:3 ).

Joseph . . . two portions —according to the original promise of Jacob ( Genesis 48:5 ; Genesis 48:22 ). Joseph's sons were given the birthright forfeited by Reuben, the first-born ( Genesis 48:22- : ). Therefore the former is here put first.
