1. Question Concerning the Birthright Promise
From: nlorenz@unr.nevada.edu
Subject: The Birthright Promise
Yair,
In 1 Chronicles 5:1-2 I read: Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, for he was the firstborn; but forasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright. 2 For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler; but the birthright was Joseph's.
It is evident that the birthright promise was given to Joseph and this can also be seen in Genesis chapters 48-49. What does the birthright promise include?
Bert
Brit-Am Reply:
The word translated as "birthright" in Hebrew is "Becorah" meaning "Firstborn Right" i.e Right of the Firstborn.
The firstborn was to receive two portions in the inheritance.
[Deuteronomy 21:17] BUT HE SHALL ACKNOWLEDGE THE SON OF THE HATED FOR THE FIRSTBORN, BY GIVING HIM A DOUBLE PORTION OF ALL THAT HE HATH: FOR HE IS THE BEGINNING OF HIS STRENGTH; THE RIGHT OF THE FIRSTBORN IS HIS.
The inheritance would be divided into equal plus one parts and the firstborn receive his own part plus one extra. In this case there were twelve sons but altogether thirteen tribes were counted. Joseph received two portions since both his sons were counted as tribes in their own right (Genesis 48:5).
[Genesis 48:5] AND NOW THY TWO SONS, EPHRAIM AND MANASSEH, WHICH WERE BORN UNTO THEE IN THE LAND OF EGYPT BEFORE I CAME UNTO THEE INTO EGYPT, ARE MINE; AS REUBEN AND SIMEON, THEY SHALL BE MINE.
Joseph thus received an extra portion as if he were the firstborn.
[See our commentary to these passages.

Notice how the Rabbinical Commenatries understood that contrary to the simple meaning Manasseh would be more numerous and materially greater at a later stage after Ephraim had already achieved greatness. See how this well this fits our identification of Manasseh with the USA and Ephraim with Britain and its offshoots. The correspondence is even more remarkable when one realizes that the Rabbis in question were not aware (as we now are) of the identity of Ephraim and Manaaseh!]
Joseph received an extra portion (two portions instead of one) in the Tribal Blessings as if he were the Firstborn.
This Right of the Firstborn however apparently went BEYOND merely receiving an extra portion.
It in effect much more than that.
