House of Israel
Can you be of Jewish decent but still be from the house of Ephriam?
Mindy
Dear Mindy,
Yes. While patriarchal blessings may indicate a literal descent, you are usually adopted into one of the tribes of Israel based on certain spiritual characteristics and roles. There are church members of Jewish descent who were assigned to Ephraim, or Manasseh.
