“¹⁹The sons of Rachel, Jacob’s wife, were Joseph and Benjamin. ²⁰And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him. ²¹The sons of Benjamin were Belah, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard. These were the sons of Rachel, who were born to Jacob: fourteen persons in all.”

– Genesis 46:19-22 (NKJV)

“The sons of Rachel, Jacob’s wife, (🤔) were Joseph and Benjamin. And to Joseph in the land of Egypt (we recognise here a cheeky nod to the fact that God’s Will Will Be Done and His Purposes Accomplished even in-, or rather precisely because-, It Is Done in a historically pagan land, amongst a predominantly heathen nation : the colonisation of kingdoms of darkness by The Far-Reaching Arms of The Kingdom of God has been a pervasive theme in Our Story right from the very beginning [also see Romans 10:20-21]) were born Manasseh and Ephraim (set to become Tribes of Israel in their own right 😃 and harbingers of veiled messages throughout Scripture in the meanings attached to their names namely: “God has made me forget entirely my troubles and my father’s house” and “being fruitful”), whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him (once again, along similar lines we are reminded that a pagan kingdom and its priests are publically made a spectacle of and put to shame as its daughters are taken as brides to serve the Lineage and Purposes of Our Kingdom; reminded of God’s abundant favour unto Joseph I am furthermore wholly convinced that dear Asenath was most assuredly an altogether lovely young lady in whom The Lord not only sought to bless Joseph with a wonderfully Kind and Gentle wife, and his children with a Good Mommy, but at the same time brought a humble, dear child out of the kingdom of darkness unto True Salvation and transfer into The Kingdom of His Marvellous Light; I also do not think it much of a stretch to surmise that in her earnestness and humility she was erstwhile prompted to cry out to The One True God – even if unsure of which name to call Him by – for rescue [Romans 10:13]). The sons of Benjamin were Belah, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard. These were the sons of Rachel , who were born to Jacob: fourteen persons in all (here we see a reminder of another interesting Godly Custom where a Matriarch of The Faith is credited with the children from her own womb as well as the children of her biological children’s seed and the wombs of her lawful [Benjamin’s Wife and Asenath] children’s wombs – namely her grandchildren – who in turn are credited to the Patriarch Jacob – all of which beautifully serves Jacob’s New Name therein truly, truly christening them as The Children of Israel : what a Glorious Full Circle Trajectory!).”
