And the very few who have written on themes which involved<br \/>\nthe Birthright have assumed that their readers were as wise as<br \/>\nthey, and have written concerning the Birthright without<br \/>\nexplaining what it was; hence, the reader is compelled to receive<br \/>\ntheir use and application of the word without knowing it to be<br \/>\ncorrect.<br \/>\nWhen we say that the word <a href=\"https:\/\/watchman.news\/2021\/12\/judahs-sceptre-and-josephs-birthright-pt1\/\">Birthright<\/a> implies that which<br \/>\ncomes by right of birth, or as an inheritance, all will agree<br \/>\nwith us; but just what special inheritance is referred to as that<br \/>\nwhich is declared, in the above text, to be the right of Joseph,<br \/>\nfew will understand until the matter is explained. Hence we give<br \/>\nthe following.<\/p>\n<p>In the first covenant which the Lord made with Abraham,<br \/>\nthere are two distinct features, in so far as concerns his<br \/>\nchildren; first, a multiplicity of seed, as involved in the<br \/>\nfollowing: &#8220;I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make<br \/>\nnations of thee;&#8221; second, a royal line, the promise of which is<br \/>\ngiven as follows &#8220;Kings shall come out of thee.&#8221; Hence these<br \/>\ncovenant promises and blessings, which had been given him direct<br \/>\nfrom the Lord, became the lawful heritage of Abraham.<br \/>\nThis heritage which was given from God to a human being<br \/>\nseems to have in it both a human and a divine right; the human<br \/>\nright being that a son of the heritage-holder may succeed the<br \/>\nfather and become the lawful possessor of the inheritance; the<br \/>\ndivine right being that of choice among the legal posterity of<br \/>\nthe heritage-holder.<br \/>\nAfter this heritage was given, Isaac was the first heir in<br \/>\nthe line of succession, and he was also the one whom the Lord had<br \/>\nchosen as the inheritor of that which had been given to his<br \/>\nfather. At the time of Abraham&#8217;s death he was the father, not<br \/>\nonly of Isaac, but of six other lawful sons, who were the<br \/>\nchildren of Keturah, his second wife. Notwithstanding this fact,<br \/>\nthe divine record declares that he gave all his possessions to<br \/>\nIsaac, the son of Sarah. &#8220;Abraham gave all that he had unto<br \/>\nIsaac.&#8221;&#8211;Gen.25:5.<br \/>\nIsaac became the heir because he was the first born among<br \/>\nthe lawful sons of Abraham; hence those possessions came to him<br \/>\nas the right of the first-born, or by right of birth, i.e., as a<br \/>\nBirthright. And, if Isaac was heir to all that Abraham had, then,<br \/>\naside from all else which may have come into his possession, he<br \/>\nwas most certainly heir of that God-given heritage, the covenants<br \/>\nof promise which contained these two distinct features &#8211; a<br \/>\nmultitude of people and a royal line.<\/p>\n<p>Esau, the son of Isaac and brother of Jacob, having been<br \/>\nborn first, for he was the elder of twins, was next in the line<br \/>\nof succession, and being the elder or firstborn, came into<br \/>\npossession of the Birthright. Thus he had a birthright at his<br \/>\ndisposal, but instead of keeping it, and allowing it, in turn, to<br \/>\nbecome the property of his first-born son, he undervalued it, and<br \/>\nsold it to his brother Jacob, who, being the younger, could not<br \/>\nhave acquired it by right of birth.<br \/>\nThe right of Esau to sell the birthright has never been<br \/>\nquestioned; his wisdom in selling it may well be questioned. The<br \/>\nfact that Jacob, who became anxious to obtain that birthright,<br \/>\nfelt that he must not only make the purchase from Esau, its<br \/>\nlawful owner, but also knew that he must deceive their father in<br \/>\norder that he might secure from him the accompanying blessing, is<br \/>\nproof positive that the Birthright was the lawful inheritance of<br \/>\nEsau.<br \/>\nMoreover, when Jacob went in unto Isaac in the disguise<br \/>\nwhich he and his mother had devised, he went with a lie on his<br \/>\nlips, and said to his father, &#8220;I am Esau thy first born.&#8221; But<br \/>\nIsaac was distrustful; the hands felt all right, but the voice<br \/>\naroused suspicion. So the blind father asked, &#8220;Art thou my very<br \/>\nson Esau?&#8221; Again Jacob answered in the affirmative.<\/p>\n<p>What was he after? That which belonged to the first-born.<br \/>\nWhat did he get? That which belonged to the firstborn.<br \/>\nHe had not only bought it from the first-born himself, but<br \/>\nalso had deluded the father into bestowing upon him the blessing<br \/>\nwhich made the purchase secure from the human side; for when<br \/>\nIsaac found that Jacob had secured the blessing from him by<br \/>\nsubtility, he could not revoke it.<br \/>\nThat word &#8220;blessing&#8221; seems to be the word which attaches<br \/>\nitself to the receiver and inheritor of even these covenant<br \/>\npromises which pertain wholly to earthly things. For God had said<br \/>\nto Abraham &#8220;In blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I<br \/>\nwill multiply thee.&#8221; It is also recorded that &#8220;God blessed Isaac<br \/>\nsaying I will bless thee, * * * and I will make thy seed to<br \/>\nmultiply as the stars.&#8221; Esau&#8217;s sad cry was exceedingly bitter<br \/>\nover his disappointment when he found that Jacob had supplanted<br \/>\nhim, but Isaac was compelled to say to him, &#8220;I have blessed him<br \/>\n(Jacob) and he shall be blessed.&#8221; So it is recorded: &#8220;And Isaac<br \/>\ncalled Jacob and blessed him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not<br \/>\ntake a wife of the daughters of Canaan. Arise, go to Padan-aram,<br \/>\nto the house of Bethuel, thy mother&#8217;s father; and take thee a<br \/>\nwife from thence of the daughters of Laban, thy mother&#8217;s brother.<br \/>\nAnd God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply<br \/>\nthee, that thou mayst be a multitude of people; and I will give<br \/>\nthee the blessing of Abraham, to thee and to thy seed with<br \/>\nthee.&#8221;&#8211;Gen.28:1-4.<\/p>\n<p>Thus we see that this blessing, as given to Abraham, Isaac<br \/>\nand Jacob, carries with it the promise of a numerous posterity;<br \/>\nalso, that the &#8220;blessing of Abraham&#8221; was given to Jacob by his<br \/>\nfather Isaac, who was the direct inheritor of the Abrahamic<br \/>\nheritage; and that, while Isaac in fact gave it to Jacob, he<br \/>\nintended it for Esau, his first-born son, to whom it belonged by<br \/>\nright of birth. If it belonged to him because he was the<br \/>\nfirst-born, then it was his &#8220;birthright.&#8221; And since he sold his<br \/>\nbirthright to Jacob, who thus became its possessor, Jacob and not<br \/>\nEsau must become the father of that promised multitude of people<br \/>\nwhich is contained in the Birthright; i.e., the covenant promise<br \/>\nto Abraham.<br \/>\nIn truth Esau could justly say: &#8220;Is he not rightly named<br \/>\nJacob? (supplanter) for he hath supplanted me these two times: he<br \/>\ntook away my birthright; and, behold now he hath taken away my<br \/>\nblessing.&#8221;<br \/>\nAlthough Jacob had received from his father the much coveted<br \/>\nblessing, which carried with it the inheritance of the Birthright<br \/>\npromises, he was dissatisfied, and seemed to hold those blessings<br \/>\nas insecure until they had been ratified to him directly by the<br \/>\nblessing of God. Having secured them by fraud, he knew that he<br \/>\nwas holding them under the protest of both his father and his<br \/>\noutraged brother.<\/p>\n<p>So much from the human side. On the divine side, God<br \/>\nintended that Jacob should have the birthright, for, as we have<br \/>\nalready shown, he chose Jacob in preference to Esau before they<br \/>\nwere born. Had Jacob trusted God, he would have placed him in<br \/>\npossession of the birthright in a perfectly honorable way; but<br \/>\nhe, in distrust, took matters into his own hands, and gained<br \/>\npossession of it by wicked conniving.<br \/>\nIt was because of this that he had more trouble to secure<br \/>\nthe blessing of God upon his possession of this inheritance than<br \/>\nhad his predecessors, and though he wrestled for it with the<br \/>\nangel all the night long, he did not secure it until he had first<br \/>\nconfessed his name which was expressive of his character &#8211; to be<br \/>\nJacob, i.e., supplanter. Then it was that God bestowed the<br \/>\nblessing, took away that reproachful name, and gave him a new and<br \/>\nunstained one, even Israel: the meaning of which is: &#8220;As a prince<br \/>\nthou hast prevailed with God.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The next legal inheritor of the Birthright was Reuben, the<br \/>\nfirst-born son of Jacob and Leah, his first wife; but he, like<br \/>\nEsau, lost it; and Joseph, the firstborn son of Rachel, the<br \/>\nsecond and best loved wife of Jacob, succeeded his father in the<br \/>\npossession of it. But that we are right in saying that the<br \/>\nfirst-born is the legal inheritor, is evident from the fact that<br \/>\nReuben, the first born son of Jacob, is declared to have been<br \/>\nheir to the birthright. This is made clear in the Biblical<br \/>\naccount of the entertainment which was given by Joseph to his<br \/>\nbrethren, when they came into Egypt the second time to buy food<br \/>\nand brought Benjamin with them; for when the feast was ready, and<br \/>\nJoseph &#8211; who had not yet revealed to them the fact that he was<br \/>\ntheir brother &#8211; gave the word, &#8220;Set on bread,&#8221; it is said of the<br \/>\nservants, who, it seems, had previously been instructed, that,<br \/>\n&#8220;They sat before him the first-born according to his Birthright,<br \/>\nand the youngest according to his youth: and the men marveled one<br \/>\nat another.&#8221;&#8211;Gen.43:33.<br \/>\nThe fact that Reuben was the first born and possessor of the<br \/>\nBirthright, and the cause of his losing it, are set forth in<br \/>\nconnection with the declaration that the Birthright had been<br \/>\ngiven to Joseph, as follows: &#8220;Now the sons of Reuben, (for he was<br \/>\nthe first-born; but forasmuch as he defiled his father&#8217;s bed, his<br \/>\nbirthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and<br \/>\nthe genealogy [of Reuben&#8217;s sons] is not to be reckoned after the<br \/>\nBirthright. For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him is<br \/>\nthe chief ruler; but the birthright is Joseph&#8217;s.) The sons of<br \/>\nReuben the first-born of Israel were, etc.&#8221;&#8211;1 Chron.5:I-3.<br \/>\nIf our readers would know just why this act should have<br \/>\ncaused Reuben to forfeit his birthright, they must be able to<br \/>\nread between the lines. We are only at liberty to say that, after<br \/>\nthat act, if either Reuben or his probable first-born had come<br \/>\ninto possession of the Israelitish birthright, the Lord could not<br \/>\nhave declared, as he did concerning Israel, &#8220;I planted thee a<br \/>\nnoble vine, wholly a right seed.&#8221;<br \/>\nTo Isaac and to Israel God had confirmed the covenants of<br \/>\npromise in their entirety, including in the confirmation the<br \/>\npromise of the land, a multiplicity of seed, the one seed, or the<br \/>\nMessianic covenant, and a royal line; but you will note from the<br \/>\nScripture just quoted, that the promise of a royal line, which,<br \/>\nas the sacred story proceeds, is clearly shown to contain the<br \/>\nMessianic covenant, had been separated from the birthright, and<br \/>\ngiven to Judah, the fourth son of Jacob and Leah, while the<br \/>\nbirthright fell to Joseph. This individual separation of the<br \/>\nSceptre and the Birthright took place just previous to the death<br \/>\nof Jacob, who had these blessings at his disposal. Not, however,<br \/>\nas his own selfwill or human judgment might suggest, but only as<br \/>\nGod should direct; for the history of the people involved is a<br \/>\ndivine work from start to finish, and its ultimate object is the<br \/>\nglory of God in the vindication of his word.<br \/>\nThe call of Abraham and the giving of the promises to him<br \/>\nwere supernatural; for God had appeared unto and talked with him.<br \/>\nThe production of Isaac was also supernatural. No human<br \/>\npossibility was there. But the possibility of faith was there,<br \/>\nand it prevailed. The conception, and the birth of Jacob and Esau<br \/>\nwere also supernatural, for there were &#8220;two nations,&#8221; two<br \/>\ndistinct races, &#8211; a white child and a red one &#8211; Caucassian and<br \/>\nArabic, in one womb; and the manner of their birth was so<br \/>\nsupernaturally manipulated, that, as they struggled in the womb,<br \/>\nJacob held Esau&#8217;s heel, and thus they were born: the very manner<br \/>\nof which, as we hope to show, is one of the most striking types<br \/>\nin all the Word of God. And yet, none of these events are any<br \/>\nmore supernatural, nor attended with any greater manifest power<br \/>\nof God, nor is his will any more clearly manifest in them, than<br \/>\nis the transfer of the Sceptre, and the Birthright, by dying<br \/>\nJacob, to Judah and to Joseph.<br \/>\nAt the time of Jacob&#8217;s death, all Israel was in Egypt living<br \/>\nin the land of Goshen. When it was reported to Joseph that his<br \/>\nfather was dying, he took with him his two sons, and hastened to<br \/>\nthe bedside of the dying patriarch. But when Joseph and his sons<br \/>\nwere ushered into the presence of the dying man, it appears that<br \/>\nsupernatural strength, from the one who had given him the name of<br \/>\nIsrael, was given him, for, although dying, it is recorded, that<br \/>\n&#8220;He strengthened himself and sat up in the bed.&#8221; Then discovering<br \/>\nthat Joseph was not alone he asked, &#8220;Who are these?&#8221; to which<br \/>\nJoseph replied, saying, &#8220;They are my sons, whom God hath given me<br \/>\nin this place,&#8221; i. e., Egypt.<br \/>\nAfter Joseph had explained to Jacob, concerning his<br \/>\nhalf-blood Egyptian boys, &#8211; Joseph had married an Egyptian woman<br \/>\n&#8211; then Jacob proceeded to adopt them as his own legal sons; at<br \/>\nwhich time he said: &#8220;And now thy two sons Ephraim and Manasseh,<br \/>\nwhich were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto<br \/>\nthee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be<br \/>\nmine.&#8221; (Gen.48:5.) But after the adoption was completed he said<br \/>\nto Joseph, concerning the issue which should be begotten of him<br \/>\nafter them, &#8220;They shall be thine,&#8221; but they &#8220;shall be called<br \/>\nafter their brethren in their inheritance.&#8221; So it is that the<br \/>\ntribal names of all the posterity of Joseph are dealt with, both<br \/>\nfrom a historic and a prophetic standpoint, as Ephraim and<br \/>\nManasseh. Do not forget that, for upon it depends much of<br \/>\ninterest in that which is to follow.<br \/>\nIt would appear that, at the time of the adoption or prior<br \/>\nto it, the Holy Ghost had told Jacob that Ephraim was the one<br \/>\nwhich had been chosen by the Lord as the inheritor of the<br \/>\nbirthright, or the blessing of the first born. For at that time,<br \/>\nthe name of Ephraim, the younger, was mentioned before Manasseh,<br \/>\nthe older; as also the name of Reuben, who was the real first<br \/>\nborn, is mentioned first when his name is coupled with that of<br \/>\nSimeon. But the transfer of the birthright from his eldest to his<br \/>\nyounger son was not made known to Joseph until after he had<br \/>\npresented his sons before Israel for the promised blessing.<br \/>\nJacob had said, &#8220;I will bless them.&#8221; So when Joseph brought<br \/>\nthem to him, and bowed himself with his face to the earth, he<br \/>\nheld Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel&#8217;s left, and Manasseh<br \/>\nin his left hand to the right hand of Jacob. Joseph in his human<br \/>\ncalculation, was managing so as to have Manasseh his first born<br \/>\nget that promised &#8220;blessing&#8221; which was in Jacob&#8217;s right hand. His<br \/>\nthought was, &#8220;If I take Manasseh in my left hand, that will bring<br \/>\nhim to the right of my father, so that, even if he is blind, when<br \/>\nhe stretches forth his hands to give the blessing, his right hand<br \/>\nwill rest on the head of my first born son.&#8221;<br \/>\nBut no! Look ! As Jacob reaches out his hands to lay them in<br \/>\nblessing upon those two heads, he being under the inspiration &#8216;of<br \/>\nthe Holy Ghost,&#8217; is &#8220;guiding his hands wittingly,&#8221; i. e.,<br \/>\nknowingly, crosses them and lets his right hand rest upon the<br \/>\nhead of Ephraim, the younger brother. They were in this position<br \/>\nwhen &#8220;he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers<br \/>\nAbraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long<br \/>\nunto this day, the angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless<br \/>\nthe lads; and let my name (Israel) be named on them, and the name<br \/>\nof my fathers Abraham and Isaac, and let them grow into a<br \/>\nmultitude in the midst of the earth.&#8221; These were the collective<br \/>\nblessings which those two received; together they inherited the<br \/>\nnames of the racial fathers; together they are to grow into a<br \/>\nmultitude of people.<\/p>\n<p>At this juncture Joseph noticed that Jacob&#8217;s right hand was<br \/>\nnot resting on Manasseh&#8217;s head, and wanted to remove it, but<br \/>\nJacob refused, saying &#8220;Not so.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;But,&#8221; says the anxious Joseph, &#8220;You have your right hand on<br \/>\nmy younger son&#8217;s head.&#8221;<br \/>\nTo this, Jacob replied, &#8220;I know it, my son, I know it.&#8221;<br \/>\nHow does Jacob know it? He is in a dying condition and<br \/>\nblind. Ah, the Spirit &#8211; the Spirit of Prophecy &#8211; is upon him!<br \/>\nSee what follows.<br \/>\nJacob does not remove his hands, nor change their position;<br \/>\nbut with his left hand still on Manasseh&#8217;s head, and his right<br \/>\nhand on Ephraim&#8217;s head, he continues to prophesy; still the<br \/>\nprophecies are no longer collective, but special and individual.<br \/>\nOf Manasseh he declares, &#8220;He shall also become a people (nation)<br \/>\nand he shall also be great; but truly his younger brother shall<br \/>\nbe greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of<br \/>\nnations. And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall<br \/>\nIsrael bless, saying: God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh;<br \/>\nand he set Ephraim before Manasseh.&#8221;&#8211;Gen.48:19,20.<\/p>\n<p>So Ephraim was set before Manasseh, both nationally and<br \/>\ntribally; but they were to grow together until they became a<br \/>\nmultitude of people in the midst of the earth. Eventually<br \/>\nManasseh was to become a separate nation, and as such was to be a<br \/>\ngreat nation. But Ephraim was to become a multitude of nations,<br \/>\nor as some translate it, &#8220;a company of nations&#8221;; in either case<br \/>\nthis is a reiteration and confirmation of the promise made to<br \/>\nAbraham.<br \/>\nIn his tribal relations, also, Ephraim was placed before his<br \/>\nelder brother, because he was elevated to the inheritance which<br \/>\nwas forfeited by Reuben, the firstborn of Israel. This is why God<br \/>\ndeclares &#8220;I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first-born.&#8221;<br \/>\nJer.31:9.<br \/>\nWhile the spirit of prophecy was still upon Jacob, he called<br \/>\nall his sons together to tell them what their posterity should<br \/>\nbecome &#8220;in the last days.&#8221; Among other prophetic utterances, of<br \/>\nwhich we shall speak later, was the following concerning Judah<br \/>\nand the Sceptre: &#8220;The Sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a<br \/>\nlawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him<br \/>\nshall the gathering of the people be.&#8221;&#8211;Gen.49:10.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever else the Birthright may have contained, or if God<br \/>\never did count those other blessings and promises as belonging to<br \/>\nthe Birthright, one thing is certain; that is, that when the<br \/>\nBirthright passed into the possession of Joseph and his sons, it<br \/>\nwas stripped bare of all else, save the oft-repeated promises<br \/>\nwhich pertain to a multiplicity of seed for Abraham, Isaac, and<br \/>\nJacob. Hence, when it was recorded in the Chronicles that the<br \/>\nBirthright was Joseph&#8217;s, it was understood that from the loins of<br \/>\nJoseph&#8217;s sons must come seed, posterity, people. Yea, multitudes,<br \/>\nnations &#8211; &#8220;many nations,&#8221; even races of people.<br \/>\nThis is the crucial test. Since the promise of the<br \/>\nfatherhood of many nations, which was given successively to<br \/>\nAbraham and Jacob, was inherited and sold by Esau, then inherited<br \/>\nand forfeited by Reuben, but finally given to Joseph and his two<br \/>\nsons, and never revoked, then, we say, that the crucial test; not<br \/>\nonly for the faithfulness of God, but also for the integrity of<br \/>\nhis Word, is that Joseph, through Ephraim and Manasseh, must of<br \/>\nnecessity become the father of those many nations which were<br \/>\npromised to the fathers of Israel.<\/p>\n<p>But the fact that Joseph must become the father of those<br \/>\npromised nations is not only the crucial test of God and his<br \/>\nWord, but it is also a test of the power and worth of FAITH; &#8220;By<br \/>\nfaith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph.&#8221;<br \/>\nHeb.11:21. What was that for which Jacob put forth faith when he<br \/>\nblessed the sons of Joseph?
