The symbol is that of fasces (FAS-eez), a bundle of rods bound by a leather thong.
In ancient times, fasces were a Roman symbol of power and authority, a bundle of wooden rods and an axe bound together by leather thongs. Fasces represented that a man held imperium, or executive authority.
There are thirteen rods shown in the fasces, suggesting the thirteen original states that achieved independence from Britain and formed the United States. Seen as symbols of the states — and the American motto "E Pluribus Unum," or "Out of Many, One," => "Out of many... just One"

Jacob elevated the descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh (the two sons of Joseph and his Egyptian wife Asenath)[5] to the status of full tribes in their own right due to Joseph receiving a double portion... thus, the descendents of Joseph (יוֹסֵף Yōsēp̄), were split into two "tribes":
These formed the original Kingdom of Israel, the Samaritans claim to be descendants of Ephraim, as do many Persian Jews. In India the Telugu Jews claim descent from Ephraim, and call themselves Bene Ephraim, and have similar traditions to those of the Mizo Jews, whom the modern state of Israel regards as descendants of Manasseh.
