"Ha'mal'ach Ha'Goel"
After awarding Yosef with the "bechora," Yaakov continues with a special blessing to Efraim and Menashe. Considering their new status as bona fide "shvatim," and recognizing the fact that they had grown up with no contact with their uncles and cousins, Yaakov adds a special blessing (see 48:8-20) to help facilitate their incorporation into the 'chosen family':

"Ha'malach ha'goel oti [who saved Yaakov] mikol ra [from all evil], y'varech et ha'n'arim [He should bless these children to help them 'blend in' with the chosen family, in order that:] v'yi'karey va'hem shmi v'shem avotai Avraham v'Yitzchak..." (See 48:16)
In other words, in order that Yosef's two sons will be identified with Yaakov's family name - i.e. the name of the forefathers Avraham and Yitzchak - Yaakov blesses them with special Divine providence, the same providence that helped Yaakov survive his confrontation with Esav and Lavan.
