Joseph saw Ephraim's grandchildren, and the children of Manasseh's son Makhir were also born on Joseph's lap.
Vayar Yosef le-Efrayim bney Shileshim gam beney Machir ben-Menasheh yuldu al-birkey Yosef.


Commentary:

grandchildren
  Literally, 'third generation.' Actually, the term can be interpreted to indicate Ephraim's children (the third generation from Joseph; Sh'muel ben Chofni); Ephraim's grandchildren (Sh'muel ben Chofni); or Ephraim's great-grandchildren (Ralbag). The generations were: Ephraim, Shuthelach, Eran (Numbers 26:35,36; cf. 1 Chronicles 7:20).

children of Manasseh's son Makhir
  Most notably Gilead (Numbers 26:29. See 1 Chronicles 7:14, 16; Numbers 27:1, 32:29, 36:1, Joshua 17:3).
