"Thus saith the LordGod; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions."
While we study of inheritance as mentioned in the Vision of Ezekiel strangers are also entitled to their portion. "And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel./And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the LordGod. (vv.22-23)
"The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: Thou maintainest my lot. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly heritage. I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: My reins also instruct me in the night seasons." (Ps.16:5-8) Here David is extolling the blessings of being hid in Christ. This heritage is in the light. In short God as my inheritance is different from the lot that is given to the mingled race in the vision.
Gill's exposition on this verse gives us this info. "Joseph shall have two "portions" for his two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, and in virtue of the birthright which fell to him on the forfeiture of it by Reuben; he was an eminent type of Christ, with whom the saints are joint heirs; and who has two portions, one for himself as Mediator, and another for them." Joseph is set as the double for Jesus Christ is counted as a heir above. "Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:/Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son." The dream of Joseph already indicated the role of his parents and his brethren in particular. (Ge.37:7-11)
