Genesis 48:22

I now give you, in addition to what your brothers will receive, a ridge (slope or the city of Shechem) that I took from the Amorites with sword and bow."
[Hebr. shekhem can refer to a ridge, slope, or even the city of Shechem. He may be referring to the land he bought, see Gen. 33:18–19, but since a battle is mentioned, it suggests that it is the events in Gen. 34:25–29 that are referred to. Joseph was later buried in Shechem, see Josh. 24:32.] [Twelve or thirteen tribes?
Joseph's sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, are adopted by Jacob (verse 5), so in total it is as if Israel had 14 sons! When the land is later divided, Joseph does not receive any land; instead, Manasseh and Ephraim are allocated land, and Joseph is thus replaced by his sons. Here we see a model of how Jesus redeems two peoples (Jews and Gentiles) and allows these two peoples to take his place as one people, yet still two (verse 16).
Even though there are thirteen tribes entering the new land, only twelve tribes receive land. Levi does not have its own territory (the Lord is their inheritance, see Deut. 18:19–20). There are several connections between the number 13 and the number 1. The Hebrew word for the number one is echad. The word consists of three letters: alef (numerical value 1), chet (numerical value 8), and dalet (numerical value 4). The sum of the numerical values of these three letters is 13. In Judaism, 13 is the number required to start something new. The number one together with thirteen appears in many areas. When a boy reaches the age of thirteen (and celebrates bar mitzvah), he is considered a man and "becomes one" with the people.]
