"Why" in Psalms 78:67-68

From: Questions and Answers on Scripture: From the Bible Treasury

Psalm 78:67‑68

Listen to This Article

Question: Psa. 78:67, 68⁶⁷Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim: ⁶⁸But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved. (Psalm 78:67‑68). Please explain the “why.” W. H. G.
