Jehovah, in fact, foretold it. Consider the message he gave to the prophet Ezekiel regarding the joining together of two sticks, the stick “for Judah ” and the stick“ for Joseph. ”
فَقَدْ طَلَبَ مِنْهُ أَنْ يَجْمَعَ قَضِيبَيْنِ ،‏ أَحَدُهُمَا « لِيَهُوذَا » وَٱلْآخَرُ « لِيُوسُفَ » ،‏ حَتَّى يَصِيرَا وَاحِدًا .‏ ‏
