Been looking for something like this, will check it out.

1st Chronicles 20-29
Ephraim and his sons never went to Egypt but stayed in Canaan

I wonder if it would conflict with Christian teaching. I'm just getting into Christianity so I would rather not muddy the waters until I have a good foundation but it's hard to find good commentary on the OT.

>>1588575

You're kidding, right? Of course it would conflict with Christian teaching.

>1st Chronicles 20-29

Do you know how to cite bible verses?

Do you know what a contradiction is?

>>1588581
>1st Chronicles 20-29
kek, that was a weird mistake. it's 1st Chronicles 7:20-29

>>1588595
Now tell me what a contradiction is.

1 Chronicles 7
The Family of Ephraim
20 The sons of Ephraim were Shuthelah, Bered his son, Tahath his son, Eladah his son, Tahath his son, Zabad his son, Shuthelah his son, and Ezer and Elead. The men of Gath who were born in that land killed them because they came down to take away their cattle. Then Ephraim their father mourned many days, and his brethren came to comfort him.

And when he went in to his wife, she conceived and bore a son; and he called his name Beriah, because tragedy had come upon his house. Now his daughter was Sheerah, who built Lower and Upper Beth Horon and Uzzen Sheerah; and Rephah was his son, as well as Resheph, and Telah his son, Tahan his son, Laadan his son, Ammihud his son, Elishama his son, Nun his son, and Joshua his son.

Now go ahead and show me where they were in Egypt.

in Genesis Joseph's sons, Ephraim and Manasseh were born and died in Egypt. here is an account of Ephraim living in Canaan and several generations of his family. Also, how can Ephraim be numbered among the tribes leaving Egypt during the exodus when they were already living in Canaan?

>>1588563

You do realize that Ephraim was born in Egypt, yes?

Genesis 46:20
And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him.

>>1588642
Ephraim and Manassah did not die in Egypt; they each got 1/2 a tribe and 1/2 an allotment of land in the promised land after their father died in Egypt.

There are no contradictions in the bible; just people like you saying there are.

>>1588649
Yes, I acknowledge that here>>1588642
poor choice of words on my part. But the part where he dies in Egypt is hard to reconcile with this account of Ephraim and several generations of his family living in Canaan
