The five fold birthright of the firstborn

Here are the 5 fold birthrights of the firstborn

Esau sold the birthright made up of the below 5 items to Jacob for a bowl of soup:

1. Kingship and Kingly line to Christ (later went to Judah) (divided from Blood line to Christ with Solomon)  Judah was like a lion and would be a leader of the other tribes (Genesis 49:8–12). His tribe would later produce a line of kings, beginning with King David and, much later, Jesus Christ.[1]
2. Blood line To Christ (later went to Judah) (divided from kingship and kingly line to Christ with Solomon) Judah was like a lion and would be a leader of the other tribes (Genesis 49:8–12). His tribe would later produce a line of kings, beginning with King David and, much later, Jesus Christ.[1]
3. ·  Prophetic Mantle
   went to Benjamin[2] first, This link discusses Saul from the tribe of Benjamin When Saul joined the Prophets in this passage, that meant Benjamin got some of the Prophetic birthright.
   Moses from the tribe of Levi got some of the Prophetic birthright,
   Moses is, as it would seem, the only character of the Old Testament to whom Christ expressly likens himself—‘Moses wrote of me’ (John 5:46). ...
   main points of likeness:
   (a) Christ was, like Moses, the great prophet of the people—the last, as Moses was the first.
   (b) Christ, like Moses, is a lawgiver: ‘Him shall ye hear.’
   (c) Christ, like Moses, was a prophet out of the midst of the nation—‘from their brethren.’
    As Moses was the entire representative of his people, feeling for them more than for himself, absorbed in their interests, hopes, and fears, so, with reverence be it said, was Christ. [3]
   Later it fell from the sky when Elijah went into heaven and Elisha picked up the mantle after watching Elijah. Elijah said to Elisha, ‘Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you.’ And Elisha said, ‘Please, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.’ And he said, ‘You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so.’ Then it came about as they were going along and talking, that behold, there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire which separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven.” Elisha, at the wonderful sight, cried out, like a bereaved child, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” The mantle of his master had, however, fallen upon Elisha as a pledge that the office and spirit of the former were now his own (2 Kings 2:6-13).[4]

4. Double portion of the inheritance (later went to Joseph and then was divided between Ephraim and Manasseh) Joseph received many blessings in verses Genesis 49:22–26, including a double portion. His two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, each became the founder of a tribe of Israel.[6]
5.  Priesthood (later went to Levi)  Levi and Simeon: These two brothers were mentioned together as being violent (Genesis 49:5). Their land would be divided. This did occur later, as Simeon was given only a few cities in Israel, and the Levites were the priestly tribe that received no land inheritance.[5]
6. The following takes on the firstborn birthright topic in a similar way. Genesis is a “family book” and has a good deal to say about brothers. Being the firstborn son, Cain was special, but because of his sin, he lost everything and Seth took his place (). Ishmael was Abraham’s firstborn, but God bypassed him and chose Isaac. Esau was Isaac’s firstborn son, but he was rejected for Jacob, and Jacob’s firstborn son Reuben was replaced by Joseph’s two sons (49:3–4; ). In fact, God even rearranged the birth order of Joseph’s sons (). Throughout Old Testament history, God’s sovereignty is displayed in His choices of those who receive His blessing, for all that we receive is because of God’s grace. Sibling rivalry among brothers is another theme in Genesis. Ishmael persecuted Isaac; Jacob left home so Esau couldn’t kill him; and Joseph’s brothers intended to kill him but decided to sell him as a slave. When sin entered the human race, it gave us dysfunctional and fractured families, and only the Lord can put families together again[6]

Bibliography

Here is an outline about the birthright I found online:
Question: "Were Jacob’s prophecies about his sons fulfilled?"

Answer: Just before Jacob died, he called his twelve sons and said, “Gather around so I can tell you what will happen to you in days to come” (Genesis 49:1). The chapter then shares Jacob’s prophecies regarding many of his sons. A brief look at each prediction reveals that they were fulfilled.

Reuben: He was the firstborn, but he gave up his birthright by his evil actions. The birthright then moved to Joseph, who received a double portion as the oldest son of Jacob’s wife Rachel.

[5]Simeon and Levi: These two brothers were mentioned together as being violent (Genesis 49:5). Their land would be divided. This did occur later, as Simeon was given only a few cities in Israel, and the Levites were the priestly tribe that received no land inheritance.[1]Judah: Judah was like a lion and would be a leader of the other tribes (Genesis 49:8–12). His tribe would later produce a line of kings, beginning with King David and, much later, Jesus Christ.

Zebulun: This son would later be given the land between the Mediterranean Sea and Sea of Galilee (Genesis 49:13). Zebulun will also have land that extends to the sea in the future Millennial Kingdom (Ezekiel 48:1–8, Ezekiel 48:23–27).
Issachar: Verses Genesis 49:14–15 state Issachar’s land would be agricultural. True to the prophecy, his tribe later inherited the rich farmland of the Valley of Jezreel in Galilee.
Dan: Verses Genesis 49:16–18 note Dan would become a judge in Israel. Samson, one of the greatest judges, came from this tribe. Yet many of Dan’s leaders worshiped idols (as in Judges 18) and brought God’s judgment.

Gad: Verse Genesis 49:19 simply notes Gad would be effective in military struggles. It is difficult to link this to any direct fulfillment due to the brevity of the prophecy. Some have seen a fulfillment of this prediction in the great number of troops who served King David from the tribe of Gad (1 Chronicles 12).

Asher: Verse Genesis 49:20 states Asher would enjoy good soil. Asher’s tribe later inherited the very fertile land of Carmel along the seacoast.

Naphtali: Verse Genesis 49:21 mentions that the other tribes would admire him. The meaning of this prophecy is unclear, though it may indicate his tribe would have an easier life than the other tribes.

[6]Joseph: Joseph received many blessings in verses Genesis 49:22–26, including a double portion. His two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, each became the founder of a tribe of Israel.[2]Benjamin: Jacob’s youngest son would be a warrior, producing many of Israel’s military leaders, such as Ehud, Saul, and Jonathan. His tribe would be known for its warring characteristics (Judges 5:14; Judges 20:16; 1 Chronicles 8:40).

Jacob’s blessings and predictions provide further evidence of God’s supernatural power to foretell the future of His people and to reveal it to whom He desires.
