Joseph is the son of Jacob-Israel and Rachel. Joseph is one of the 12 tribes of Israel.
Genesis 30:22 Then God remembered
Rachel, and God listened to her and opened her womb. 23 She conceived and bore
a son and said, "God has taken away my reproach." 24 And she called
his name Joseph, saying, "May the Lord add to me another son!"
Jacob-Israel’s blessing to Joseph:
Genesis 49:22 "Joseph is a
fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a spring; his branches run over the wall. 23
The archers bitterly attacked him, shot at him, and harassed him severely, 24
yet his bow remained unmoved; his arms were made agile by the hands of the
Mighty One of Jacob (from there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel), 25 by
the God of your father who will help you, by the Almighty who will bless you with
blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that crouches beneath, blessings
of the breasts and of the womb. 26 The blessings of your father are mighty
beyond the blessings of my parents, up to the bounties of the everlasting
hills. May they be on the head of Joseph, and on the brow of him who was set
apart from his brothers.
