Theme of the parashah
God’s covenant with Abraham and Isaac passes to Jacob (Israel) and his seed, not to Esau and his seed
Finding Messiah in Vayrah Elohiym El
Also God said to him: “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come from your body.” Gen 35:11
Jacob spoke this word, that God gave to him here, again at the blessing of Joseph’s sons:
“God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked,
The God who has fed me all my life long to this day,
The Angel who has redeemed me from all evil,
Bless the lads;
Let my name be named upon them,
And the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac;
And let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.” Gen 48:15-16
“Multitude” is in Hebrew, melo hagoyim, “a fullness of Gentiles.” So the single nation which came from Israel’s body was the nation of Israel, who are today represented by the house of Judah. The company of nations which came from Israel’s body, is, I believe, the fullness of Gentiles of Ephraim’s prophetic destiny, who are today represented by the house of Ephraim. (Why this is so.) The king who will come forth from his body will unite the two houses into one house with one king (Eze 37:19-24), and that king is Messiah Yeshua.
