In Genesis 48, we have an intriguing scene where Joseph brings his sons to receive a blessing from Jacob. Jacob adopts his grandsons as sons, granting them a full portion of his inheritance. However, Jacob also crosses his hands to place his right hand on Ephraim, the younger son, overturning traditional firstborn rights.
This act of overturning firstborn rights is a recurring theme in Genesis. But why does God do it?
Join us as we look at how the overturning of firstborn rights in Genesis assures us God's promises don't depend on human means and are absolutely certain: even when in the natural course of events they seem impossible.
