Genesis 49:22-26 KJV – 22 Joseph [is] a fruitful bough, [even] a fruitful bough by a well; [whose] branches run over the wall: 23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot [at him], and hated him: 24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by The Hands of The Mighty [God] of Jacob; (from thence [is] The Shepherd, The Stone of Israel:) 25 [Even] by The God of thy father, Who SHALL help thee; and by The Almighty, Who SHALL bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb: 26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
Deuteronomy 33:13-17 KJV – 13 And of Joseph he said, Blessed of The LORD [be] his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath, 14 And for the precious fruits [brought forth] by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon, 15 And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills, 16 And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and [for] the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let [the blessing] come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him [that was] separated from his brethren. 17 His glory [is like] the firstling of his bullock, and his horns [are like] the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they [are] the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they [are] the thousands of Manasseh.
Numbers 2:18-24 KJV – 18 On the west side [shall be] the standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their armies: and the captain of the sons of Ephraim [shall be] Elishama the son of Ammihud. 19 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, [were] forty thousand and five hundred. 20 And by him [shall be] the tribe of Manasseh: and the captain of the children of Manasseh [shall be] Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 21 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, [were] thirty and two thousand and two hundred. 22 Then the tribe of Benjamin: and the captain of the sons of Benjamin [shall be] Abidan the son of Gideoni. 23 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, [were] thirty and five thousand and four hundred. 24 All that were numbered of the camp of Ephraim [were] an hundred thousand and eight thousand and an hundred, throughout their armies. And they shall go forward in the third rank.
ON THE FOURTH DAY OF CREATION, JESUS PLACED PATTERNS OF STARS IN THE SKY, LIGHTS WHICH SERVE FIRST AND FOREMOST AS THE TRIBAL “SIGNS” OR 12 MILITARY “ENSIGNIA” OF THE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL.
[Genesis 1:14 KJV] 14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs,[H226] and for seasons, and for days, and years:
Of the 88 Constellations, or Patterns of Lights that make up the sky, the sun passes through only 12 of these ‘Owthowth, each one in its order. Scientists call the circuit the sun runs through these 12 Signs the “Ecliptic.”
The time it takes for the sun to pass through each ‘Owthowth varies. These time periods are called “Solar Months.” The 12 Biblical Months of the year are named after these 12 Solar Months.
The ‘Owthowth אוֹתוֹת (H226) of the Tribe of Joseph, Ephraim & Manasseh is second in the sun’s circuit along the ecliptic.
EACH “ SIGN” OR MILITARY “ENSIGN” IS EMBROIDERED ONTO ITS OWN “FLAG” OR “STANDARD” IN ONE OF THE FOUR COLORS OF THE FOUR CAMPS IN THEIR FOUR DIRECTIONS.
[Numbers 2:2 KJV] 2 Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with the ensign[H226] of their father’s house: far off about The Tabernacle of The Congregation shall they pitch.
The Tribe of Ephraim is the Head of the Camp of Ephraim, in the West, which moves out in the Third “Rank”. Ephraim is the seventh of the Twelve Tribes or “Companies” that make up the Armies of The Lord. The Ephraimites’ / Ephrathites’ Flag or “Standard” color is Red.
