The elder of the two sons of Joseph. Manasseh means who makes to forget. "God hath made me forget" (Heb. nashshani), Genesis 41:51. The birth of a son marked the climax of Joseph's happiness after the long bitterness of his experience. In the joy of the moment, the dark years past could be forgotten; therefore he called the name of the firstborn Manasseh ("causing to forget"), for, said he, God hath made me to forget all my toil. He and his brother Ephraim were afterwards adopted by Jacob as his own sons ( 48:1 ). Both he and Ephraim were born before the commencement of the famine. A Manasseh moment is when we are whole, healed and overcomers despite past afflictions.  We become transformed by the renewing of our mind.
