I don't know. I was born with 13 ribs on both sides. As for Genesis 49, Genesis 49:27 shows that Benjamin was a "ravenous wolf", the same description given to the false prophets of Matthew 7:15. Also the same tribe of king Saul, who also had a demon spirit plague him. David asked the tribe of Benjamin to stay in Jerusalem with Judah, and henceforth, became a part of the "house of Judah". Benjamin was not part of the "lost sheep of Israel", the 10 northern tribes, which is the "house of Israel". As for Paul's claims, he claimed "He is in the wilderness" which would lead to one should "not believe them" (Matthew 24:26). The "disciples" who were chosen, were of the house of Judah, Jews, and were to take the message of "repent; the kingdom of heaven is at hand, to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, the 10 lost northern tribes. As for the original split between Judah and Ephraim, the 10 northern tribes, that was a result of the judgment against David for sleeping with Bathsheba, laid out by Samuel, and carried out by David's son. Paul is simply one of the staffs of Zechariah 11:7-10, who was "pasture" the "flock doomed to slaughter", which would be the Gentiles. The reunification will be the stick of Ephraim joined to the stick of Judah, under David, on the "land I gave to Jacob" (Ezekiel 37:15-28).
So many things wrong.
Messiah brings a covenant for Ephraim and Judah, in Jesus day, who and where was Ephraim and Judah? Of course we know who the Jews of Judah are, but where is the milions of Ephraim, Ephraim is synonomous with the sands of the seas because of their numbers, where are they?
Being a Gentile certainly does not qualify one as being Ephraim.
Anyone looking at Genesis 49 should see a ladder that progressively gets better, and this is very easy to see and to realize at looking at the 4 camps around the temple, and when you have begun bad and progressively walked through those tribes, the end result is Benjamin, you have now reached the Penthouse and judgement is put into your hands because you are the only true brother of Joseph, and the Lord demands that you produce Benjamin, a child of Jerusalem.
