“Surely Shall He Again Bring a Remnant of the Seed of Joseph to the Knowledge of the Lord”

Brant Gardner

Mormon ties the lineage of the past to the progeny of the future. This is a lineage record, and this is a lineal promise (though many of us receive it through adoption rather than birthright). The lineage of Jacob and Joseph are declared in verse 21. Here the seed of Joseph receive blessings stored up for them.
