Genesis 48:6

And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.

Thy issue which thou begettest, х 'ªsher (H834) howladtaa (H3205)] - which thou hast begotten.

Shall be called after the name of their brethren. Here the rule is distinctly laid down for regulating all questions of their future genealogies, and a sufficient reason why certain names, and no more, were inserted in the catalogue contained in the preceding chapter.
