While scholars have acknowledged the literary dependence of Jubilees 31 (the blessing of Levi and Judah) on Genesis 48 (the blessing of Ephraim and Manasseh), little work has been done to understand the purpose of this intentional intertextuality. This article examines the literary influence of Genesis 48, the effect of its absence, and the altered roles of Levi, Judah, and Joseph in Jubilees in order to determine why the author made the literary decision to pattern one scene of blessing after the other. This article suggests that the author's decision to omit Genesis 48 and to present not one but two similar scenes of blessing in its place is part of a larger strategy to negotiate the interpretive problem of the prominent status given to Joseph's sons in Genesis 48. By replacing Ephraim and Manasseh with Levi and Judah, but allowing Joseph to receive the double portion of land, the author of Jubilees reflects an interpretive tradition, also found in the Targums, Genesis Rabbah, and the Testaments of the Patriarchs, that understands the inheritance of Jacob to be threefold and distributed three ways—the birthright to Joseph, the priesthood to Levi, and the kingship to Judah.

银禧记中创世记48（以法莲和玛拿西的祝福）的缺席与影响

虽然学者们承认禧年31（对利未和犹大的祝福）对创世记48（对以法莲和玛拿西的祝福）在文学上的依赖性，但对于了解这种有意互文性的目的却很少做。本文研究了创世记48的文学影响力，缺席的影响以及利未，犹大和约瑟夫在禧年中角色的变化，以确定作者为什么做出文学决定来仿效一个祝福场景。本文认为，作者决定省略创世记48，而不是只展示两个相似的祝福场景，是谈判约瑟夫儿子在创世记48中所享有的重要地位的解释性问题的一项较大策略的一部分。以法莲和玛拿西与利未和犹大，
