Joseph as a type of the ever blessed Jesus, had eminent distinctions assigned him by his Father. He was among the youngest of Jacob ' s children, but yet, after Judah, is one of the first to be provided for, in his tribe. If the Reader be curious to observe the boundaries of Joseph, he will discover that his lot was very favourably cast, being in the very heart of Canaan. And is not Jesus, whom Joseph typified, the sum and substance and centre of Heaven? Doth he not reign in the very heart of his people? Reader! do not forget to read Moses ' s prophetic dying blessing concerning Joseph. Deuteronomy 33:13-17.
