48-08, 09 Who are these boys? (Achei Temimim 5722/ 2021)
Yaakov doesn’t recognize Menashe and Ephrayim suddenly- why? and Yosef changes his mind, how?
Giving a Bracha requires Ruach HaKodesh which departs from Yaakov and Yosef argues to bring it back.
Various ideas from Mifarshim and Chazal, culminating with Rashi (and the Zohar) that he sees Reshaim coming from them.
He shows him his document of marriage and all is well.
1) I married their mother according to Halacha.
2) I did a Mitzvah
3) They are Jewish and every Jew (even Yeruvum and Achov) ultimately has a portion in the world to come.
