The answer below is correct. When Israel (Jacob) came to Egypt, he "adopted" into his clan two of his grandsons, the two eldest sons of Joseph named Ephraim and Manasseh.
In doing so, Israel (Jacob) increase the 12 tribes of Israel to 13. This is because rather than simply adding in two more portions, Joseph was given a double portion. Joseph's descendants received two portions of the inheritance (in Ephraim and Manasseh) while the other eleven tribes received only one portion.
