“Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.”
And to you I give one more ridge of land than to your brothers, the ridge I took from the Amorites with my sword and my bow. The additional portion given to Joseph — one ridge more than his brothers — is the covenant honor for the son of the beloved wife, expressed as additional inheritance. The application: the covenant honor given to the one whose suffering secured the family's survival is expressed in the concrete form of inheritance.
