Start with Joseph's two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, who's names mean "doubly fruitful" and "to make forgetful".

Jacob passed on the blessing he had inherited from Abraham and Issac to both of these grandsons. Jacob also prophesied that multiple nations would come from them. This is the last time the Biblical record shows the blessing of Abraham being given and the only time it didn't all go to a specific son, so it seems the blessing from this point belonged to the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh in general. Both of whom disappeared without a trace after the Assyrians conquered the Northern Kingdom of Israel. Forgotten and fruitful.

apparently the tribes that didnt make it into israel were resettled along some river in central eurasia, I cant remember the name of it off the top of my hand.

As for epheraim and manesses' names, they can also translate into "plenty" and "void".
