「So the children of Joseph,

　Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.」　　Amen.

When Jacob blessed his twelve sons, Joseph received the most blessings. Joseph had two sons: Manasseh, the firstborn, and Ephraim, the second son. But when Jacob blessed them, he crossed his hands. The blessing for the firstborn, Manasseh, was given to the second son, Ephraim.Therefore, the younger son Ephraim became greater than the elder son Manasseh. One reason the northern kingdom of Israel after the split was also called Ephraim was because of his great influence.

　Even today, may it be according to the Lord's plan...

God bless you.   See you tomorrow.
