Genesis 46:20

וַ יִּוָּלֵד לְ יֹוסֵף בְּ אֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם אֲשֶׁר יָלְדָה לֹּו אָסְנַת בַּת פֹּוטִי פֶרַע כֹּהֵן אֹן אֶת מְנַשֶּׁה וְ אֶת אֶפְרָיִם

And he-has-been-born1314 to He-Adds in the earth of Dual-Siege, whom Asenath built-one of Poti-Pherah, priest of On, has borne to-himself, אֶת-Forgotten and אֶת-Dual-Fruit.


1314

Builders of Joseph?

And he-has-been-born to He-Adds. This verse obviously, and mysteriously, departs from the consistency of the list structure by using the verb has been born in place of “builders”. 3rd person singular masculine verb וַיִּוָּלֵ֣ד referring to both Ephraim and Manasseh.
