=Judah the riddle second son=
As the fourth son, God plays riddles to make him the second son. Levi was not to be numbered as one of the tribes. <ref>[[Nu 2:33]] But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.</ref> And Simeon and Levi would be dispersed. <ref>[[Ge 49:5]] ¶ Simeon and Levi [are] brethren; instruments of cruelty [are in] their habitations. [[Ge 49:6]] O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall. {digged … : or, houghed oxen} [[Ge 49:7]] Cursed [be] their anger, for [it was] fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.</ref> +With two of the first three sons out of the way, Judah becomes the second son. Judah plays the role of he second son as well. The promise and blessing goes through him to Christ. By himself he plays both first and second son. There is a dramatic change in his person with a scene of the cross in the midst. He is a man of the flesh as he deceived Jacob into thinking that Joseph is dead. <ref>[[Ge 37:32]] And they sent the coat of [many] colours, and they brought [it] to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it [be] thy son’s coat or no.</ref> But then offers himself for his brother Benjamin's life. <ref>[[Ge 44:33]] Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.</ref> Between the two events, Judah had been placed in prison by Joseph, as a picture of the cross.
