We know that Yosef married Osnas, the daughter of Deena;

but whom did the other 11 sons of Yaakov Aveenu marry?

Also, whom did Efrayim and Menasheh marry?

Thank you.

Some opinions say they married from the other nations, others say they had twin sisters

I read a Rav Miller that said they did indeed marry their sisters...so when G-d told Adam to tell his decendants to not commit incest, it came with a heter that its ok as long as they are elevated enough?

Bnei Noach are allowed to marry their paternal siblings, they just didnt marry their own twins (Ramban)

Thank you. This makes so much sense now.
