The chronicler completes the picture of Joseph's inheritance, naming notable cities along Manasseh's frontier and closing with the words 'In these dwelt the children of Joseph the son of Israel.' The line that began with a boy sold into Egypt now fills a wide and fruitful land.
The summary recalls the whole arc of Joseph's story, from the pit to the palace to a settled people. What enemies meant for harm, God turned to the saving of many and the blessing of generations. The children of Joseph dwelling in their land are living proof that the Lord's purposes cannot be undone.
