be like Ephraim and Menashe

Of siblings, to have an amicable, harmonious relationship. (Joseph's sons Ephraim and Menashe were the first brothers featured in the Bible to have such a relationship.) Why must you always fight with your brother? Can't you two be like Ephraim and Menashe? I can't believe you don't get along with your siblings. My brother and I have always been like Ephraim and Menashe. I wish my older brother and I were like Ephraim and Menashe, but we're really more like Cain and Abel, always jealous of each other.
