When Yaakov bleessed his Grandchildren Efrayim and Menashe, he crossed his arms blessing the oldest (Menashe) with his left hand and the younger (Efrayim) with his right hand. It should have been the other way round, oldest with right hand and younger with left. When Yosef asked his father, Yaakov tells Yosef that even though both sons will have holy descendants, he's giving Efraim the extra push because he knows that in the future a descendant of Efraim will be so great that he'll freeze the sun in the sky as he leads the conquest of Canaan. This great leader is none other than Yehoshua bin Nun
