5 Now your two sons [Ephraim and Manasseh], who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine [that is, adopted as my heirs and sons as surely], as Reuben and Simeon are my sons.

6 But other sons who were born to you after them shall be your own; they shall be called by the names of their [two] brothers in their inheritance.
