Description: Blessings of the sons was a very important
thing in the culture of Israel. Why do
you think he blessed Joseph’s sons in this way?

or any grandchildren in a similar fashion?Â
I thought of royal families and how the oldest had significance and
responsibility.Â
Are there families in normal society that treat
the oldest differently still today? Why
or why not?
