Great read. I like to add some input on the blessings Jacob gave his sons.
I believe the blessings to Abraham and Issac went through the Lineage of Judah.
Here's why.
Genesis 22:18.
Galatians 3:14.
Galatians 3:16.
Now here is Judahs blessing.
Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee.
Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
THE SCEPTRE SHALL NOT DEPART FROM JUDAH, NOR A LAWGIVER FROM BETWEEN HIS FEET, UNTIL SHILOH COME; AND UNTO HIM SHALL THE GATHERING OF THE PEOPLE BE.
Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk. Genesis 49:8-12.
Abraham's blessing to Issac was because he was Promised! He was God's doing! We are children of Promise as well.
Galatians 4:28.
Ishmael was the works of their own hands "Works of the flesh " ( This has a lot of spiritual application )
Here is the Contrast of the two.
Galatians 4:29-31.
Verse 30 says Issac is the heir this connects him to the promise on through Jacob on Judah to Christ. Revelation 5:5.
What's interesting is Jacob blessing Joseph sons out of order instituting the reverse sovereign order of the firstborn as seen in Romans 9:11-12. Romans 9:11.
("that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;")
I believe we see the contract of Works and Grace, Flesh and Spirit, The narrow gate and the wide gate. And the putting asleep of Abraham when the unconditional covenant was made. All in These verses.
Plz forgive me But Jesus didn't come thru any mans lineage. Mary was just a vessel, but a woman's blood neva goes to the Child. Even in the natural a fetus makes his own blood. Trru story, As Jesus said i am not of this world, you are of this world but i am not of this world . You are from beneath i am from above . Had jesus been of this world he cd not have been the lamb of God as Gods lamb had be without spot, he cd not carry the stain and the spot of adam thus it had to be a virgin birth...Had Jesus been anything less then God his blood cd not have been the atonement for the sins of the world.
Alex, I agree that Jesus was supernaturally conceived by the Holy Spirit (the only person who was ever conceived this way). He was fully God and fully human in one person.
It is true that a baby in utero does obtain nutrients from the mother's bloodstream through the placenta, via the umbilical cord. That is what I meant. Google it to see if I am correct. Also, God does not have blood. He is Spirit, as Jesus said.
When the God, the Son was incarnated, He then had pure blood in the body of Jesus, untainted by the sinful nature, as you said.
As to His lineage, Matthew and Luke both trace His lineage back to David and Adam. and they are implying that He is from the lineage of David and ultimately from Adam. So, just as God created the Adam's DNA , He also created the Jesus' DNA, which was made of matter, like Adam's and all humans. We do not know how God did this, or how He connected Jesus' DNA to David and Adam, but I take it on faith that God is able to do this. Jesus ad perfect DNA as well as perfect blood.

God bless you and Good night.
genetic Characteristics is predominately from the Father and Who's Father was Jesus Christ. That's why
he had sinless blood , the part of Him that was Human was the flesh he had uncontaminated blood.
Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood. Hebrews 2:14 we are partakers of the flesh and blood
of corruption, he took part the flesh but not the blood contamination no sin. Also of course he had Spirit.
Just something to think about.
