Jos 17:1, THERE WAS ALSO A LOT FOR THE TRIBE OF MANASSEH, FOR HE WAS THE FIRSTBORN OF JOSEPH:…
It is true that Manasseh was the first born of Joseph, Yet he didn’t get the blessings of the first born! Jer 31:9 “FOR I AM A FATHER TO ISRAEL, AND EPHRAIM IS MY FIRSTBORN.”
In Gen 48:13-14, Israel blessed Ephraim as first born with his right hand. Israel Knowingly crossed his arms to place his right hand on Ephraim’s head!
Gen 48:17, Now when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him; so he took hold of his father’s hand to remove it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head.
Gen 48:19, …”I know, my son, I know. He also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; BUT TRULY HIS YOUNGER BROTHER SHALL BE GREATER THAN HE,
Col 1:15, HE IS THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD, THE FIRSTBORN OVER ALL CREATION.
JESUS IS THE FIRSTBORN OVER ALL CREATION FOR HE IS GREATER THAN ALL AND HE CREATED ALL!
Heb 1:6, But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says: “LET ALL THE ANGELS OF GOD WORSHIP HIM.”
