“And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.”
Joseph said to him: no, my father, this one is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head. The appeal to birth order — this one is the firstborn — is the appeal to natural expectation. The application: the natural expectation is the expectation the covenant consistently crosses.
