Gen 48:10,13, Now the EYES OF ISRAEL WERE DIM WITH AGE, so that he could not see. Then Joseph brought them near him, and he kissed them and embraced them…And Joseph took them both, EPHRAIM WITH HIS RIGHT HAND TOWARD ISRAEL’S LEFT HAND, and MANASSEH WITH HIS LEFT HAND TOWARD ISRAEL’S RIGHT HAND, and brought them near him.
Note scripture here calls Jacob “ISRAEL”, his eyes were dim with age, but HE KNEW THE WILL OF GOD AND COULD SEE MORE CLEARLY THAN JOSEPH! Manasseh was Joseph’s first born so he took him on his left so Israel could put his right hand on him!
Gen 48:14, THEN ISRAEL STRETCHED OUT HIS RIGHT HAND AND LAID IT ON EPHRAIM’S HEAD, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh’s head, GUIDING HIS HANDS KNOWINGLY, for Manasseh was the firstborn.
ISRAEL KNOWING BLESSED GAVE THE BLESSING OF THE FIRSTBORN TO THE YOUNGER! JER 31:9
Col 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God, THE FIRSTBORN OVER ALL CREATION.
FIRSTBORN IS NOT WHAT WE THINK, IT SHOWS HIS AUTHORITY OVER HIS BROTHER! JESUS IS THE FIRSTBORN OVER ALL CREATION! HIS HAS AUTHORITY OVER ALL! HE IS THE KING OF kings AND LORD of lords! HE IS THE ONLY WAY!
